Prayer of Thanks

A Prayer of Thanks and Appreciation

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude, lifting our voices in praise for Your boundless kindness, mercy, and goodness. Thank You, Lord, for Your unwavering love that sustains us each day, for Your grace that renews us, and for Your mercy that forgives and restores. You are truly a good and loving God, and we are grateful for all that You do for us.

We lift up Your holy name, Lord, and pray for Your guidance and wisdom for all those in leadership—leaders in government, community, and Your Church. Grant them discernment, humility, and integrity as they serve and make decisions that impact many. May they seek Your will and walk in righteousness.

We also pray for families and friends, asking for Your protection, provision, and peace to fill their lives. Strengthen relationships, heal wounds, and foster love and understanding among all. Bless those who are lonely, hurting, or in need of comfort, and remind them of Your presence and care.

We pray especially for the sick, the mentally challenged, and all who are suffering in any way. Bring healing and restoration to their bodies, minds, and spirits. Comfort those who mourn, uplift those burdened by illness, and surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

Father, we thank You for Your goodness that surrounds us daily, for the beauty of creation, and for the gift of life itself. Help us to be grateful and to reflect Your love in our words and actions. Use us to be a blessing to others, shining Your light in a world that so desperately needs it.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.
