Prayers of Thanksgiving
Gratitude changes what you see. The same day can look like a pile of problems or a trail of quiet kindnesses, depending on whether you stop to give thanks.
These prayers are simple thank-you letters to God for the big things and the small ones. Pray one at the table, in the car or before bed. Below are King James verses about thanksgiving.
God,
Father, I want to stop and say thank You. Thank You for breath, for a roof, for food on the table, for the people who love me even when I'm hard to love. Thank You for the prayers You answered and for the ones You answered differently than I asked. Thank You for the grace I didn't earn. Open my eyes to the good You've hidden in this ordinary day, and let my life sound like gratitude.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
