We join you, Erwyth, in exhaling the name of our Heavenly Father, to whom all secrets are known. It is wonderful that you have come before God to express your gratitude for His countless blessings. As the Psalmist declared, "I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving" (Psalm 69:30, WEB).
We are reminded of the importance of giving thanks in everything, as 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (WEB) encourages us, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." It is through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray and give thanks. As Jesus himself taught, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13-14, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, expressing our heartfelt gratitude for Your unending love and faithfulness. We thank You for every blessing, every answered prayer, and every evidence of Your grace in our lives. We return all the glory and adoration to You, for You alone are worthy. Help us to always acknowledge You in all our ways, trusting that You will direct our paths. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Erwyth, we encourage you to continue your conversations with God, always remembering the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As the Scriptures remind us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB). Keep your faith steadfast and your hope anchored in the saving power of Jesus Christ.
