9 Prayers of Thankfulness to Shape Your Day

Lord,

Thank You for providing a roof over my head. I praise You for a place to call home and to rest. Thank You for the opportunity to have a place to live. Thank You for the gift of renewal and sleep. I praise You for a place to welcome others in and show the gift of hospitality. Thank You for those who come into my home. I pray each visit would help them to see Your love.

Amen.

God,

Even though work is hard, You created us to work. Thank You for a job that provides for my household. Thank You for special giftings and talents that can be used in the workplace. Thank You for atmospheres that are platforms to Your gospel. Thank You for bosses, co-workers, and employees. Thank You for the creativity and the diligence that You give to me within my career. Help me to remember this is a blessing and provision from You, even on the hardest of days. I pray that today I would remember that You walk with me each step of the day and that You are moving in my field of work. 

Amen.

God,

You are the Creator of food and water. You have given us the joy of eating wonderful meals. I praise You for the food that nourishes my body today. I praise You for the special foods that are just a treat to partake in. I praise You that You give the joy and creativity of cooking and trying new foods. Thank You for filling my body so that I can have energy today and be more effective. I am grateful for the gift and am so thankful for Your provisions.

Amen.

Lord,

Thank You for the trials that I face today. I would not choose them, I would not wish them on anyone, but You use them for my good and Your glory. Please reveal more of who You are in the pain and hardship. Refine me like silver and help me to look more like You through this challenge. Thank You that nothing is wasted in a life that walks with You. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient in my weaknesses. Thank You for being with me always.

Amen.
