A Prayer of Thanksgiving

📖 Bible Verse:
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1 

🕊️ Story / Reflection
Today is the last day of the year. When we look back, we may remember happy moments, hard days, surprises, and lessons. Through it all, God has been faithful.

Some days were easy. Some days were not. But here we are alive, breathing, learning, growing, and surrounded by God’s care. 

God protected our families, provided what we needed, and stayed with us every step of the way.

Even when things didn’t go as planned, God was always present. That is why today is a good day to pause, look back, and say, “Thank You, God.”

💡 Lesson:
Gratitude honours God. When I thank Him, I remember His faithfulness.

🙏 Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank You for keeping my family and me this year.
Thank You for protection, provision, and love.
Even when things were hard, You were with us.
As a new year begins, my heart is full of thanks.
Amen.
