Heavenly Father, we humbly come before you in the name of Jesus, giving thanks for the answered prayers that you have graciously provided. We acknowledge our impatience and ask for your forgiveness. We recognize that sometimes we forget to return thanks for the blessings already received, and we repent for our ingratitude. Your Word reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7 to be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, to let our requests be made known to you. We understand that returning thanks for blessings already granted is an important aspect of our relationship with you. We ask for your help in cultivating a heart of gratitude and in being just as definite in returning thanks as we are in our prayers. May our thanksgiving be specific and heartfelt, as we acknowledge your faithfulness and goodness in our lives. We pray that you would increase our faith and enable us to approach you with new boldness and assurance. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
