Dear Heavenly Father,
GRACIAS for your unfailing love!  
GRACIAS for your provision of ALL my needs!
GRACIAS for saving a sinner such as I!
GRACIAS for the indwelling of your Holy Spirit to guide me each and every moment of the day!
GRACIAS for the faith you have given your children and for how you affirm it each day! As fellow missionary said recently
 

"It is only through faith in an all powerful God that one is able to listen to the great devastation of sin in someone's life and still walk away rejoicing...

because you're confident of the truth that ONLY He has the ability to restore broken lives."
