A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

O God of love, I praise and thank You for this time of prayer. I thank You for the safe journey through the last eleven months and enabling us to see the twelfth month. I thank and praise You from the depth of my heart. I began the year with doubts as to how the year would be. But You have protected and blessed and guided me till now. I thank You profusely for the good things done to me and my family this year. O Jesus Christ, You have bestowed Your immense grace upon us and protected us from all evil. I praise and thank You. O Lord, You have made it possible for us to buy/ build/ renovate our house this year. I thank You for that. You have made our business prosper. I thank You for that. In all those things where we experienced delays and impediments, You have made it possible to get over them without much difficulty with Your help. For that I thank You. Thank You for the grace given to our children to get through exams and to join new courses of study. You helped us to settle the marriage of our children and to conduct them in a wonderful way. Thank You, Lord. After our marriage we had to wait for so many years eagerly expecting a child. I thank You profusely for granting a child this year. I thank for removing the disease with which my mother was afflicted for a long time. I thank You. I also thank You for enabling me to continue in this good job, O Jesus Christ. For that I glorify You. You have restored the peace and blessings lost. I am thankful to You. We have been conducting the worship in a rented building, but this year by Your wonderful grace, we were able to build our church in our own land. Thank You, Lord. Give me more strength to work for You and bless me. Hear this prayer in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, O Father. Amen.
