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.
