Oh gracious and loving God, on this Thankful Thursday morning, I come to you with a heart full of gratitude. Thank you for the gift of a new day, for the air that I breathe, for the roof over my head, and for the food on my table.

Lord, I am grateful for all the reminders you send my way, especially in moments when I am struggling. Thank you for reminding me to choose healing over hurting, to forgive instead of holding grudges, to persevere instead of giving up, to smile in the face of adversity, to love instead of hate, and to bless instead of stressing.

I am blessed beyond measure, and I thank you, dear God, for all the blessings you have bestowed upon me. Today, I choose to focus on all the good in my life and to be truly thankful for each and every thing you have given me.

May I never take your grace and mercy for granted, and may I continue to strive to be a better person each day. Thank you, God, for your love that knows no bounds. I pray for your continued guidance and protection. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
