It’s an avenue to express our heartfelt thanks which fills our soul with joy and gratitude.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You today in complete gratitude. I may not say it enough or express it visibly, but deep within my heart I am profoundly thankful for all the blessings that You’ve showered upon me.
Lord, I am grateful for the life I’m living, for each breath I take, for every sunrise and sunset I witness. I am grateful for the good health You’ve gifted me, for the capacity to see, hear, touch, taste and smell the wonders of Your creation.
I appreciate the love and warmth of family, the companionship of friends, and the mystery of strangers. I am thankful for the opportunities, the challenges, and even the trials that mould me into who I am today. I cherish the freedom to worship You and the consequential peace that envelops my spirit.
Lord, my gratitude is nothing compared to Your limitless kindness, love and mercy. Please, God, keep an open channel between us, to acknowledge Your holy presence in each moment of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
