pray for gratitude – recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God

Message: Everything we have is a gift and we are just the stewards. Thank you Lord. Prayer: Heavenly Father, as I come before You today, I am filled with gratitude for the countless blessings You have bestowed upon my life. Every breath I take, every moment of joy and comfort, is a profound gift, intricately woven into the fabric of my existence by Your divine hand. In a world that often leads us to focus on what we lack, I am reminded of the abundance that fills my life. Thank you for the opportunities, the relationships, and the experiences that shape who I am. Help me to always recognize that these gifts are not merely possessions or happenstance, but rather expressions of Your love and grace. Lord, I understand that I am but a steward of these gifts, entrusted to care for them and to use them wisely. I seek Your guidance as I navigate this responsibility. Teach me how to honor You in the way I manage my time, resources, and relationships. Let my choices reflect an understanding that everything I possess is a reflection of Your goodness and generosity. May I be diligent in sharing my blessings with others, recognizing that when I give, I mirror Your love to the world around me. Help me to cultivate an attitude of thankfulness in every season of my life. Whether in times of abundance or need, may I find joy in the knowledge that You are my provider and sustainer. Encourage me to be mindful of the needs of those who may be less fortunate, so that I might open my heart and hands to lend support. Grant me the wisdom to see beyond my circumstances, finding ways to serve others and uplift those who feel burdened. In moments of doubt, remind me of Your promise that You will supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory. May I rest in the certainty that even when life seems challenging, You are present and active. I entrust my heart to You, Lord, and I ask that You fill it with a spirit of gratitude that overflows into every aspect of my life. Thank you, Lord, for being the source of every good thing. May I live each day with a heart that recognizes the gifts around me and a spirit that rejoices in stewardship. I pray all this in Your mighty name, Amen.
