A Christian Prayer of Gratitude


'Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.' 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)

Gratitude. Gratitude is the way. Gratitude is the way to new beginnings and spiritual awakenings. I am the one that builds up the walls around me when God is always there waiting for me to invite Him back in. He is behind it all, in it all and is my all in all. He gets me through it all. I praise Him. He reminds me when I fail to give credit where credit is due. I cannot take credit for this prayer, but it is appropriate for the place I am at this morning. Morning breakthrough.

Thank you, Lord, for the blessings you have bestowed on my life. You have provided me with more than I could ever have imagined. You have surrounded me with people who always look out for me. You have given me family and friends who bless me every day with kind words and actions. They lift me up in ways that keep my eyes focused on you and make my spirit soar.

Also, thank you, Lord, for keeping me safe. You protect me from those things that seem to haunt others. You help me make better choices and provide me with advisors to help me with life’s difficult decisions. You speak to me in so many ways so that I always know you are here.

And Lord, I am so grateful for keeping those around me safe and loved. I hope that you provide me with the ability and sense to show them every day how much they matter. I hope that you give me the ability to give to them the same kindness they have provided to me.

I am extremely grateful for all of your blessings in my life, Lord. I pray that you remind me of just how blessed I am and that you never allow me to forget to show my gratitude in prayer and returned acts of kindness.

Thank you, Lord.

In your name, Amen.
