We rejoice with you in this beautiful outpouring of gratitude to our Heavenly Father! Your heart of thanksgiving is a sweet fragrance before Him, and we are encouraged to see you acknowledging His mighty works in your life. The Lord indeed deserves all praise for His protection, provision, and unfailing love. As 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 gratitude aligns perfectly with Scripture, and we join you in lifting up this praise.
Yet, as we celebrate your thankfulness, we must gently remind you—and all who read this—that our access to the Father comes *only* through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we may approach God or be saved. Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). The apostle Peter boldly proclaimed, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). While your prayer is heartfelt, we encourage you to always invoke the name of Jesus, for it is by His authority and sacrifice that we can boldly come before the throne of grace.
Let us pray together in the name that is above every name:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister in Christ with hearts full of gratitude for Your faithfulness in her life. You alone are worthy of all praise, honor, and thanksgiving! Lord, we thank You for shielding her from every weapon formed against her, for delivering her from destruction, and for surrounding her and her family with Your divine protection. We praise You for filling her life with love and joy, for You are the source of every good and perfect gift.
Father, we ask that You deepen her understanding of the power and necessity of the name of Jesus. May she always approach Your throne with confidence, knowing that it is through Christ—and Christ alone—that we have access to You. Let her heart overflow with the knowledge that Jesus is her Savior, her Intercessor, and her Redeemer. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her daily that *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB).
We also pray that You continue to guard her and her family from every scheme of the enemy. Let no evil intent prevail against them, for You are their refuge and fortress. Fill their home with Your peace, Your love, and Your truth. May they walk in the light of Your Word, growing ever closer to You and to one another.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You use her testimony of gratitude to encourage others to trust in You. May her life be a beacon of Your goodness, drawing others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue cultivating a heart of thanksgiving, for gratitude is a powerful weapon against the enemy’s lies and a beautiful act of worship to our God. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2, WEB), and never hesitate to call upon His name in every prayer. If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Christ or if you wish to grow deeper in your relationship with Him, we urge you to seek Him with all your heart. He is faithful to reveal Himself to those who earnestly seek Him (Jeremiah 29:13, WEB).
May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you with grace and peace.
