pray for gratitude – let us cultivate a heart that praises Him not only in need but especially in times of joy and abundance.

Message: In our journey of faith, it’s easy to get lost in the excitement of answered prayers. When we lay our requests before God and witness His hand at work, the initial gratitude can slowly fade as we become consumed by our new circumstances. The message reminds us to hold close the truth of who gave us these blessings, urging us not to forget God when we receive what we have fervently prayed for. Every gift is a reminder of His goodness and grace, a call to return to Him in thanksgiving and remembrance. Let us cultivate a heart that praises Him not only in need but especially in times of joy and abundance. Prayer: Gracious Father, as I come before You today, I thank You for being a constant source of hope and strength. I am grateful for every prayer that You have answered, for every longing of my heart that You have met. I pray that I may never forget the hands that provide, nor the heart that loves me unconditionally. Help me to remember that it is You who walks with me through all seasons of life, not just during my times of need. May my heart always be turned towards You, recognizing that every blessing is a reflection of Your goodness. Lord, in humility, I ask for Your guidance so that I may keep my focus anchored in Your presence. When the world may distract me with its chaos and demands, remind me to pause and reflect on the incredible journey You have led me through. Teach me to remain in a place of gratitude, acknowledging that everything I have is a gift entrusted to me by You. Create within me a spirit of continuous thankfulness that doesn’t waver in moments of success or happiness, but instead amplifies my desire to serve and glorify You. As You bless me, I commit to remembering those blessings as opportunities to share Your love with others, to offer thanks not just in my heart but through my actions. Lord, may I always give You the glory that You deserve. May my gratitude reflect in how I love others, how I serve my community, and how I remain steadfast in faith. I long to be a faithful steward of the gifts You have given me. Thank You for Your unending love, and may I always draw closer to You in every moment, whether in want or in plenty. I pray that my life is a testimony to Your faithfulness, a reminder to myself and to those around me of Your unwavering goodness. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
