In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Thank You, Lord! 

Experience the Power 

for being grateful always.

Being truly thankful requires us to 

look beyond our current 

circumstances - whether 

blessings or struggles - and look 

to God, our true source of 

blessings. May these thank-you 

prayers inspire you in ways to 

say "thank you!" to God today 

and to express gratitude to our 

Lord Jesus Christ for all that He 

has done for us.

Every day, we have the opportunity 

to thank God for blessing our lives.

 Thanksgiving is when we can 

reflect on our lives and recognize 

all the good things we have. We 

can give thanks for our family 

and friends, the health we enjoy, 

and 

the opportunities we have been 

given. 

We can give thanks for the beauty 

of nature and the peace and joy 

that comes living in communion 

with God.

Thank You, Lord!

Thank you, Lord, for all the 

blessings in my life. Thank you 

for the sun that rises each 

morning and the stars that 

shine each night. Thank you 

for the joy of friendship and 

the comfort of family. 

Thank you for the beauty of 

nature and the mysteries of 

the universe. Thank you for 

your guidance and protection. 

Most of all, thank you for never 

leaving my side, even when I 

don't know you are there. 

Have mercy and save me

 Lord God. Amen.

Giving thanks to God is not just 

something we do on Thanks-

giving Day. We can thank God 

every day, in both big and small 

ways. We can express our 

gratitude through prayer or by 

taking time to appreciate the 

world around us. We can also 

show our thanks by helping 

others and spreading kindness. 

Whatever way you choose, 

giving thanks is a meaningful 

way to recognize the blessings 

in our lives and show our 

appreciation for them.

Being genuinely thankful requires 

us to look beyond our current 

circumstances - whether 

blessings or struggles - and look 

to God, our true source of 

blessings. It's easy to thank God 

when we can physically see and 

touch his blessings - food, 

money, clothes, good health, 

family...but what happens when 

feeling thankful is hard? 

How can we truly live a 

thankful life?

It may not be Thanksgiving Day, 

but we can learn from Thanks-

giving Day all year long. The 

pilgrims suffered great hardship 

and loss, yet they chose to 

celebrate and thank God, 

believing they were blessed. 

There will always be 

circumstances, events, and 

news for which we are not 

thankful. 

But, we can always express our 

gratitude to God through prayer 

and experience the power that 

comes from letting go of 

negativity and opening our eyes 

to the blessings surrounding us.

"Thank You" Prayers to 

Praise the Lord

1 Thessalonians 5:18 encourages 

us to "Give thanks in all 

circumstances; for this is God’s 

will for you in Christ Jesus." We 

can thank God for His faithfulness, 

that He never leaves or forsakes 

us, and for His promise of eternal 

life through His Son, Jesus Christ.

May these prayers inspire you to 

say "thank you!" and feel 

gratitude to Jesus Christ for all 

He has done for us. 

Prayer When We Struggle 

to be Thankful

Lord Jesus, forgive me for not 

saying “Thank You.” I repent of 

focusing on the things I don’t have, 

instead of the blessings You have 

given me. I want to be like the one 

who returned to express gratitude. 

Thank You for saving me, forgiving 

me, and providing for my daily 

needs. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 

Prayer for Blessings

Thank you for your great love and 

blessing over our lives. Thank you 

that your favor has no end, but it 

lasts for our entire lifetime. 

Forgive us for sometimes 

forgetting that you are intimately 

acquainted with all of our ways, 

that you know what concerns us, 

and you cover us as with a shield. 

We ask that we would walk in your 

blessing and goodness today. 

That your face would shine on us. 

That you would open the right 

doors for our lives and for our 

loved ones, that you would close 

the wrong doors and protect us 

from those we need to walk away 

from. 

Establish the work of our hands 

and bring to fulfillment all that 

you have given us to do in these 

days. We pray that you would 

make our way purposeful and 

our footsteps firm out of your 

goodness and love. Give us a 

heart of wisdom to hear your 

voice, and make us strong by 

your huge favor and grace. 

In Jesus' Name, Amen. 

Prayer When Life 

Brings Challenges

Dear God, thank You for Your 

countless blessings and the 

challenges that draw us near 

to You. Thank You for the 

challenging moments when 

You gave me the strength to 

wait out the storm. 

Jesus, You are so good. Whatever 

storms come into my life, You are 

my Rock and my Shelter. Thank 

You for Your sustenance that fills 

me, Your light that surrounds me, 

and Your love that never fails. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 

Prayer for Jesus

Holy and Righteous Father, I thank 

you for Jesus, who is at your side 

and knows my heart, struggles, 

and world. Thank you for your 

sacrifice, which saved me. Thank 

you for your sustaining presence 

in our universe.  

Thank you for your daily 

intercession. Thank you for being 

God for me at the Father's side. 

To the glorious, majestic, and 

holy God, who sent Jesus as 

Savior, be glory, honor, and 

adoration forever and ever.  

Holy God, how you could stand to 

see your precious Son under the 

weight of my sin, all sin, I will 

never understand. Thank you for 

such a great love and for being so 

great  God. 

There is none who can be 

compared to you, O God. Your 

greatness is beyond imagining 

and your love beyond my dreams. 

I will live this day to your glory 

through him who bore my sin so 

I could be your child. Amen.

Almighty Lord, thank you for the 

empty tomb and Jesus' victory 

over the grave.  Just as Jesus' 

death pardoned my sin, his 

resurrection assures my future. 

Thank you for grace and glory. 

May my life today be lived by the 

power of the resurrection.  

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer for God's 

Sovereign Control

Father, we praise You for the 

delicate way You powerfully align 

our lives to Your creation. Thank 

You for the waters and mountains 

that remind us of You. Forgive us 

for overlooking Your presence in 

every aspect of our lives, and bless 

us to notice and give glory to You, 

for You are our healer. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer to Say 

'Thank You, Jesus!'

Lord, how can we ever thank You 

enough? You endured more pain, 

more shame, more sorrow, more 

grief than we can possibly fathom. 

Help us remember why You gave 

Your life. Because of love. 

Because of mercy. Because we 

desperately need them both. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 

Prayer for Life's

 Good and Bad Times

Dear God, I hate to say it, but I have 

been guilty of grumbling and griping 

about all my problems and trials. I 

have failed to be thankful and to 

remember that You are at work in 

my life, even through all the troubles. 

Please forgive me, God. I want to 

be a person who keeps my eyes on 

You and praises You, no matter 

what may come my way. So, thank 

you God for these blessings (name 

them) and these challenges (name 

them). I know You are in control 

of all things. 

I know You love me and work all 

things together for my good. I 

choose to trust You, Lord. Teach 

me to be a “praiser” who always 

finds the good... and not a 

complainer who always finds 

the bad. 

In Jesus' name, Amen. 

Prayer for Miracles

Heavenly Father, Thank You for 

answering my prayers and 

performing miracles in my life 

every day. Just the fact that I woke 

up this morning and can take a 

breath is a gift from You. Help me 

to never take my health and loved 

ones for granted. Help me to 

always stand in faith and keep 

my focus on You when unexpected 

circumstances arise. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer for When Life 

Isn't Perfect

God, sometimes life gets me down 

and I find it hard to see things to be 

thankful for. Open my eyes to see 

the gifts you’ve given me in my life. 

I’m going to start by thanking you 

for loving me enough to come to 

earth and die so we can live 

together forever. Amen. 

Prayer for Life Beyond 

Just the Blessings

Lord, forgive me for focusing more 

on the negatives in my life than the 

positives. Thank You for Your 

blessing of love, grace, mercy, and 

eternal life. Fill my heart with Your 

spirit this Thanksgiving and all 

days so I can be thankful. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer for God’s 

Constant Love

Father, we praise You for Your 

consistency. Thank You that 

though we are incapable of being 

consistently good, loving, and 

righteous, you are those things for 

us. Forgive us for our 

inconsistency, and bless us, that 

we may know Your love for us 

never changes. You are always 

loving, and for that we give thanks. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 

Prayer for Abounding 

Grace

Lord, thank you for your abundant, 

abounding grace. Thank you that 

we don't have to earn a drop of 

the mighty river of grace that 

flows freely for us today. Thank 

you for the unexpected, 

unmerited favor you've showered 

on my life. Help me put myself in 

the path of your love and grace. 

Help me not neglect the disciplines 

I need to meet with you regularly 

and to drink from the water of life. 

Thank you for your rich love. 

Amen. 

Prayer for Salvation and 

Other Blessings

Father, thank you for intervening in 

my life and allowing me to have a 

personal relationship with you. 

Thank you for your love for me 

today and forever. 

Thank you for the blessings you’ve 

given me and my family. Help us 

use those blessings to bless 

others. 

May I live a life of true joy as I see 

you at work around me today! 

In Jesus' name. Amen. 

Prayer for Release 

from Pain

We confess our need for you today. 

We need your healing and your 

grace. We need hope restored. We 

need to be reminded that you work 

on behalf of those you love, 

constantly, powerfully, completely. 

Forgive us for trying to fix our 

situations all on our own. Forgive 

us for running all different 

directions and spinning our wheels 

to find help, when true help and 

healing must be found first in You. 

Forgive us for forgetting how much 

we need you, above everyone and 

everything else. We come to you 

and bring you the places we are 

hurting. You see where no one else 

is able to fully see or understand. 

You know the pain we’ve carried. 

The burdens. The cares. You know 

where we need to be set free. We 

ask for your healing and grace to 

cover every broken place. 

Every wound. Every heartache. 

Thank you that you are able to do 

far more than we could ever 

imagine. Thank you for your Mighty 

Power that acts on behalf of your 

children. We reach out to you and 

know that you are restoring and 

redeeming every place of difficulty, 

every battle, for your greater glory. 

Thank you that you will never 

waste our pain and suffering. 

We release to you this day every 

need and problem we’ve carried 

or tried hard to control. We believe 

in your goodness to see us 

through. We love you. We need 

you today. 

I am Living by Faith 

1.

I care not today what the morrow 

may bring,

If shadow or sunshine or rain,

The Lord I know ruleth o’er 

everything,

And all of my worries are vain.

CHORUS:

Living by faith in Jesus above,

Trusting, confiding in His great 

love;

From all harm safe in His sheltering 

arm,

I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.

2.

Though tempests may blow and 

the storm clouds arise,

Obscuring the brightness of life,

I’m never alarmed at the overcast 

skies—

The Master looks on at the strife.

CHORUS

3

I know that He safely will carry me 

through,

No matter what evils betide;

Why should I then care though the 

tempest may blow,

If Jesus walks close to my side.

CHORUS

4.

Our Lord will return for His loved 

ones someday,

Our troubles will then all be o’er;

The Master so gently will lead us 

away,

Beyond that blest heavenly shore.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin' for to carry me home;

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin' for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan,

And what did I see,

Comin' for to carry me home,

A band of angels comin' after me,

Comin' for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin' for to carry me home;

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin' for to carry me home.

If you get there before I do,

Comin' for to carry me home,

Tell all my friends I'm comin' too,

Comin' for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin' for to carry me home;

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin' for to carry me home.

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes 

I'm down

Comin' for to carry me home

But still my soul feels heavenly 

bound

Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Comin' for to carry me home.
