Father, 

Help us to thank You in everything. We thank You for the good things, the challenging things. We thank You for the people in our lives that You have placed to encourage us. We also thank You for the blessings You have brought us. Thank You for the times things worked out when we were sure they would not turn out well. Thank You also for times when we were challenged and left wondering why things turned out the way they did. We thank You that no matter the circumstances we faced, You remained our God and You remained merciful. You are our living God who has steadfast love. We thank You for the mercy you showed us by loving us through Jesus when we didn’t know You yet. We thank You for allowing Your own son to take our sin away. We thank You that You are faithful still, even as we fail You many times over, or as we worry all over again in the circumstances of the day. Thank You, Father.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
