Dear Father, friend of Abraham,

Thank you for the wonderful relationship you established with
Abraham. Through him you have blessed the world. Through that
relationship you have blessed me. Thank you, Lord, that through it
you will bring even more blessings, now and for ever.

Thank you that Abraham's relationship to you was not something he
earned; it came because "Abraham believed God, and it was credited
to him as righteousness."

To one who works, wages are not a gift but payment due. We thank
you that our relationship is not that of a hired hand. We do not
work for wages. We work for you out of a faith and a love that you
fired in our hearts. We trust you as the one who justifies the
ungodly and who credits our faith as righteousness.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
