Thanksgiving

Prayer Minute #0046
PS 18:1

Martin Luther once said “In thanksgiving we recount blessing received, and thus strengthen our confidence and enable ourselves to wait trustingly for what we pray.”

Thanksgiving prayer is important. It can be a simple affirmation of love to God. The Bible has an example in Ps 18:1 which says “I will love you , O Lord, my salvation.” If you read the Psalms, you will be encouraged to be thankful as you see other times that God was praised. They will help you in prayer.

Father, praise is not always easy, but your word was given to help us. May we learn from your word, so we can offer praise to you from our heart. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
