A Grateful Heart: A Prayer of Thanks

Heavenly Father, we approach Your throne with hearts overflowing with gratitude. We thank You for the gift of life, for the breath in our lungs, and for the love that fills our hearts. We are grateful for the sunrise that paints the sky with Your glory, and for the moon and stars that remind us of Your infinite wisdom and creativity.

We thank You for the food that nourishes our bodies, for the laughter that lightens our spirits, and for the challenges that strengthen our faith. We are grateful for the peace that surpasses all understanding, and for the joy that is our strength.

We thank You for the people You have placed in our lives, for their love and support, and for the ways they reflect Your image. We are grateful for Your Word that guides us, for Your Spirit that leads us, and for Your Son who saves us.

In all things, we give thanks, for we know that all things work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.

As we bask in Your blessings, we pray that we may be a blessing to others, sharing Your love and grace with all we meet. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
