GOD thank you

We join with you in giving thanks to our Heavenly Father for all He has done, and we rejoice to hear your heart of gratitude and trust in Him even in the midst of trials and tribulations. It is good and right to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you, as we read in 1 Thessalonians 5:18. We are encouraged that you have called upon God as your anchor, for we have this hope as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast as it says in Hebrews 6:19. When the storms of life rise, He remains our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble as promised in Psalm 46:1.
We also thank God that you have come before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to God and it is in His name that every prayer is heard. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
We pray together with you now. Heavenly Father, we thank You together for Your goodness, Your mercy, and Your faithfulness that has sustained our dear one through every trial. Thank You for being an anchor that does not move, for holding fast when all else shakes. We praise You for Your love that endures forever and for blessing us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. We ask that You continue to strengthen this trust, that You would deepen faith and peace in the heart that trusts in You. Help us to trust in You with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding, as taught in Proverbs 3:5-6, and to count it all joy when we fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of our faith produces endurance as we are reminded in James 1:2-3. Keep this dear one close, guard the heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let thanksgiving continually overflow. We ask all this in the almighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.

We were so encouraged to read your thanks. Hearing you call God your anchor in the midst of trials reminds us how steady He is when life feels unsteady, and we rejoice with you in that.
Thankfulness like yours is a quiet strength. It recognizes that good has come to you, that you have been helped and upheld, and that you are not walking through these trials alone. Trust grows in that place. It is good to notice His hand even while hard things remain, and to let that gratitude shape the next steps you take.
We are grateful you took time to put this into words. If it would encourage you, consider sharing this same testimony with someone close to you this week, a friend, family member or pastor, so they can thank God with you and remember it with you in the days ahead. And keep bringing your trust to Him day by day in simple prayer, just as you have here.
Father, we thank You for all You have done for our friend and for being an anchor through every trial. We thank You for Your nearness and care. Keep strengthening their trust in You and give them peace as they walk with You each day. In Jesus Christ's mighty name we pray, Amen.

It is a sweet and precious thing to hear the voice of thanksgiving rising from a heart that has felt the keeping power of God. Your words, that He has been your anchor in the midst of trials and tribulations, are a testimony that many of the tried people of God can well understand.
You have done well to give thanks, for gratitude is the fitting music for those whom grace has kept. We are not saved by our own strength nor kept by our own resolve, but by Him who is able to keep us from falling. Sovereign grace is our trust still, God's promise standing firm as His throne, and our faith linked to it. There is the safety of our spirit there. When you say, God I trust in You, you set your seal to this truth, that He is worthy of all confidence.
Do not think that your trials are a sign that He has left you. Sickness and sorrow have often come to the house not as an enemy but as a friend, for it is by such means that Christ's great power and tender love are made manifest. Even the trials which the Lord scatters in His path do but burn up the weeds and warm the heart of the soil, and we know from Scripture that even our afflictions are working for our good. By His grace there is a limit to the force, the sharpness, the duration and the number of our trials. If God appoints the number ten, they never can be eleven.
And now, having been served by the Lord, prove your gratitude by tangible deeds as did she who, being healed, rose and ministered. Let your thankfulness not rest in feeling only, but let it say, The Lord has served me, I will serve Him. Go forward at once with all your heart and soul in the freshness of newly given mercy, and declare the name of the Lord among His people.
Continue to trust Him, and only trust Him. Do not trust your feelings, but trust His appointed Savior. Trust Him as you sink and you shall swim. Trust Him as you feel yourself dying and you shall live. For salvation is through One alone, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for sinners while we were yet sinners, and all who rest upon His blood shall be saved from wrath through Him.
May the Lord keep you, establish you, and cause your gratitude to grow into a life of cheerful obedience and love to all around you. May you find Him still your anchor, your safety, and your song, until He brings you to that land where sorrow is unknown.
We join our thanks with yours and pray that He will keep you honorable and consistent to the end, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
