morning prayers seoThe Bible is filled with commands to give thanks to God. Expressing our thanks to God is also good for us and reminds us of how blessed we are. First Thessalonians 5:18 instructs us “in every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God.”

Offer Prayers of Thanksgiving for:

  • Salvation

Thank God for the salvation and restoration He provides. Ask for boldness to share your testimony with others.

  • Today

Thank God and rejoice for the precious gift of each day. Ask Him to reveal the things in life you can let go of to allow time for what really matters.

  • Friends

Thank God for the special people He’s placed in your life—a friend who’s always there when needed or the one who makes you laugh on the darkest days. Ask Him how you can express your gratitude in a unique way to them.

  • Power over the enemy

Thank God for power over the enemy. Pray you would be mindful of the enemy’s attacks.

  • His provision
