Prayer to give thanks to God

I've been in the presence of a variety of people, but nothing compares to being in the presence of God. It's such a relief to know that God has your back. Knowing that God is your protector and rampart is a double blessing. One thing I know is that God never leaves nor forsakes his children. Our God, according to the Bible, is a dependable God.

Praying a thank you prayer is a wonderful way to express our sincere thanks to God. And to remind ourselves that we wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for Him and His grace.

Let us remember to thank him every day for these blessings and to express our gratitude to him through prayers.

Prayer

Thank you, God, not only for all of your blessings, but also for the challenges that bring us closer to you. Forgive us for looking for help in all the wrong places and twisting our wheels when true help and healing must first be discovered in you. Thank you for giving me the strength to wait out the storm through the difficult times. Your greatness is beyond understanding and your love is beyond my imaginations. Through Christ, who bore my sin so that I could be your child, I will live this day to your glory.

You are my rock and my refuge no matter what storms come my way. Thank you for the nourishment you provide, the light you cast about me, and your unfailing love. Help me to stay strong in my faith and keep my eyes on you in the face of adversity. Amen, in Jesus' name.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
