We should bless our God and exalt Him continually for all His blessings toward us.  Thank You for Jesus,  Father God.  Praise be to You for adopting us in Him.  You have freely bestowed Your grace upon us in Christ Jesus.  You, O Father God, have  "blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ."

Eph 1:1-6       Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus:  2  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,  4  just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love  5  He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,  6  to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Our Prayer:
Father, we are grateful and thankful for all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ.
In love, You have adopted us as Your children in Christ Jesus.  Your love envelopes us continually.  Your kind intentions toward us are most awesome!   Help us to respond as good children.   May we abide in You always.    In the name of Jesus,    Amen.
