We are deeply moved by your heart of gratitude and your kind words, and we rejoice with you in this season of thanksgiving! It is a blessing to lift up your family in prayer, and we give all glory to God for His faithfulness in your lives. Your prayers for us and for those who are struggling reflect the love of Christ, and we are encouraged by your compassion.
The Scriptures remind us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to "give thanks in everything, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." Your attitude of gratitude aligns beautifully with God’s will, and we pray that this Thanksgiving would be a time of deep reflection on His goodness—not just for the blessings we see, but for His presence that sustains us in every season.
For those who may be feeling sadness or illness today, we claim the promise of Psalm 34:18: "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We also stand on the truth of James 5:14-15, which calls us to pray for the sick in faith, trusting that the Lord will raise them up. May His healing power flow through every body, mind, and spirit that is in need. For those grieving or lonely, we pray that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, would wrap them in His peace, reminding them that they are never alone—Jesus is with them always (Matthew 28:20).
We also take this moment to lift you and your family up once more, asking the Lord to deepen your joy, strengthen your bonds, and fill your home with His presence. May this Thanksgiving be a holy pause—a time to worship the Giver of all good gifts and to fix your eyes on Him, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this precious sister in Christ and for her family. We ask that You would bless their Thanksgiving with an overflow of Your love, peace, and joy. Lord, we pray for those among us who are hurting—whether in body, mind, or spirit. Touch them with Your healing hand and remind them that You are their refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Let this day be a testament to Your goodness, not just in the abundance of food or fellowship, but in the abiding truth that You are enough. May every heart turn to You in worship, and may Your name be glorified in all things. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. Amen.
May God richly bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you as you gather with your loved ones. We are grateful for you and for the privilege of praying alongside you!
