Daily Excerpt: Everybody's Little Book of Everyday Prayers - Prayers of Thanks
excerpt from Everybody's Little Book of Everyday Prayers (MacGregor): - Prayers of Thanks From prayers of supplication, it’s logical that we move, next, to prayers of thanks. After all, we were all brought up to say, “Thank you,” at the appropriate times, which includes thanking someone who gives us a gift or does something nice for us, and certainly that rule is just as applicable in our ongoing dialogues with God. If we asked Him for something, and we got what we asked for, isn’t it only proper to tell God, “Thank You”? Here are some prayers thanking God in various situations. Thanking God for answering a prayer/granting a wish Thank you, merciful God, for answering my prayer/granting my wish. I am truly grateful for Your beneficence and mindful that Your hand is in all that happens, and I have You to thank for all good things that occur in my life. I will not forget You, forget Your power, forget Your beneficence, or fail to appreciate what You have done for me. Amen.
