6. A Prayer of Thanksgiving
Slide 6 of 6
A truth we can cling to even when everything else is uncertain is that God remains the same (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). He is with us in the good and bad times (Hebrews 13:5). His love for us is unchanging. We will never encounter a situation where the Lord is not with us and working for our good. For this, we can give thanks in any season.
Our prayers can express our emotions about change and requests for His help and peace, but we should also include praise and thanksgiving. Scripture encourages us to give thanks in every situation (1 Thessalonians 5:18). And we should, because no matter what the future holds, we have the promise of everlasting life in Christ who died for us and rose again. He is the reason we can have hope and joy.
May the words of Psalm 118:1 become our own:
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.”
Lord,
You remain good, loving, and faithful regardless of my situation. Thank You for saving me and giving me an amazing future with You forever. You alone are worthy, O God, of all praise and honor. In every season, may I exalt You.
Amen.
