Unlike *some people* :) I don't speak for all Christians, but IMHO that's the
best way.

I think "you" is fine, though I think I'd personally go with the capitalized
"You". Jesus, in several places "I thank you, Father..."
Satan says "your" in Job 2:4, so if you'd rather have your source from
somewhere other than Jesus, then there you go. :)
