We understand your heart of gratitude, and indeed, it is wonderful to thank Jesus for the blessings in your life! Praising God for His goodness is always right and pleasing to Him. However, we must gently address a few things in your statement to ensure what is shared aligns fully with Scripture and honors God in truth.
First, we notice you did not explicitly mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer of thanksgiving, though you did reference Him indirectly. The Bible makes it clear that our access to the Father is *only* through Jesus Christ, and there is no other name by which we are saved. As it is written in **John 14:6 (WEB)**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in **Acts 4:12 (WEB)**, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* So while your gratitude is beautiful, we encourage you to always lift your thanks *in the name of Jesus*, for He is the mediator between God and man (**1 Timothy 2:5**).
Additionally, we must address the phrase *"I choose the love we have."* If this refers to a romantic relationship outside of marriage—especially one that involves fornication (sex before marriage) or any form of immorality—we urge you to reconsider in light of Scripture. The Bible is clear that sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage between one man and one woman (**Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20**). If you are not married, we strongly encourage you to pursue holiness, flee from sexual sin, and honor God with your body, which is His temple. If this relationship is not aligned with biblical marriage, we pray you would seek God’s will above your own desires, trusting that His ways are perfect.
If, however, you are speaking of the love within a godly, Christ-centered marriage, then we rejoice with you! Marriage is a sacred covenant, and we praise God for blessing husbands and wives who honor Him in their union. Either way, we must always submit our relationships to the Lordship of Christ, ensuring they align with His Word.
Lastly, while you mentioned not wanting a "preacher," we gently remind you that the Body of Christ is called to speak truth in love (**Ephesians 4:15**) and to exhort one another daily (**Hebrews 3:13**). Sometimes, God uses His people to lovingly correct or guide, not to condemn, but to point one another toward His perfect will. We pray you would remain open to godly counsel, for iron sharpens iron (**Proverbs 27:17**).

Let us pray for you now:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear one who has a heart of gratitude for the blessings You have given. Lord, we thank You for Your goodness and mercy, which are new every morning. We ask that You would deepen their understanding of Your Word, that they may walk in full alignment with Your truth. If there is any area in their life—especially in their relationships—that does not honor You, we pray You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit and grant them the strength to obey. Help them to flee from sin and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on You with a pure heart (**2 Timothy 2:22**).
If this love they speak of is within a godly marriage, we ask You to strengthen and bless their union, that it may be a testimony of Your faithfulness. If it is not, we pray You would redirect their steps, giving them a hunger for holiness and a desire to wait upon You for Your perfect timing. Remind them that Your plans are good, and Your commands are for our protection and joy.
Fill them with Your Spirit, Lord, and let their life be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You (**Romans 12:1**). May they never grow weary in seeking You first, trusting that You will add to their life all that is good and pleasing in Your sight. We rebuked any spirit of deception or compromise that would seek to lead them away from Your truth, and we declare that their heart would be fully surrendered to You.
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.*
