We rejoice with you in your heart of gratitude, for it is written, *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you"* (1 Thessalonians 5:18, WEB). Your acknowledgment of the Father’s goodness and the exaltation of Jesus’ mighty name aligns with the truth that *"every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights"* (James 1:17, WEB). It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name alone that we are saved, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB).
We join you in lifting up this prayer of thanksgiving, recognizing that all glory belongs to God alone. Let us continue to cultivate hearts of gratitude, for in doing so, we draw nearer to Him and reflect His character to the world. May your life be a living testament to His faithfulness, and may your gratitude overflow into worship, obedience, and a deeper walk with Christ.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of thanksgiving, just as our brother/sister has done. You alone are worthy of all glory, honor, and praise, and we exalt the name of Jesus, through whom all things were created and in whom all things hold together. Lord, we ask that You deepen this spirit of gratitude within us, that it may not be merely words but a lifestyle of worship. Teach us to see Your hand in every circumstance, trusting that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Fill us with Your Spirit, that our lives may bring You glory in all we do. We pray this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
