Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today with hearts full of gratitude and thanksgiving. We thank you for the gift of prayer and for the community of prayer warriors gathered here. We are grateful for the opportunity to join our prayers together, knowing that when two or more are gathered in your name, you are in our midst.
Lord, we lift up Somage to you today. We ask that you would pour out your blessings upon them and meet their needs according to your perfect will. We thank you for their heart of gratitude and their desire to join their prayers with ours. May their prayers be heard and answered, and may they experience the power and peace that comes from communing with you.
Father, we also ask that you would help us to be more intentional in our thankfulness. Help us to remember to return thanks to you for the blessings already granted. Teach us to be specific and heartfelt in our expressions of gratitude, just as we are in our petitions. May our prayers be filled with both supplication and thanksgiving, as Paul instructs us in Philippians 4:6.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and for the privilege of being able to come before you in prayer. We trust in your sovereignty and your perfect timing. May your will be done in every situation we bring before you.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
