“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV

Scripture & Prayer Submitted by: Tomas Reyes Jr.

Dear Lord, I thank you profusely for your unending faithfulness and your observed protection of my family and me. You have always answered my prayers and provided encouragement to pray more. As I have attempted to navigate through challenging health issues, not working, the Covid situation, the country’s unparalleled difficulties, and life in general, you have always been a guiding spirit and we are still here! I give thanks and praise your name because I am certain that you will be present and available for all of our prayers to you.

Please guide our lives as we continue to tarry forward with our friends and families and help us to know that we can do all, with He who strengthens us. Help us to be a shining beacon of light in these dark times so we may lead others to you and your Holy Spirit can alleviate their load. As the verse exclaims, we must praise you and give thanks because it is the express will of God. If we do this faithfully, we will see your will for us. I pray that your Holy Spirit will encourage and guide us to say “thank you” even when we don’t want to, or we may not fully comprehend our immediate environment.

Please hear our prayers and continue blessing us with your sweet presence.

Amen
