Thank You, God, for Your many blessings on us this past year...the ones weve seen, as well as the ones we havent seen. Thank You, God for the times You have said no. They have helped us depend on You so much more. Thank you, God, for unanswered prayer. It reminds us that You know whats best for us, even when our opinion differs. Thank You for the things You have withheld. You have protected us from what we may never realize. Thank You, God, for the doors You have closed. They have prevented us from going where You would rather not have us go. Thank You, Lord, for the physical pain Youve allowed in our lives. It has helped us more closely relate to Your sufferings on our behalf. Thank you, Lord, for the alone times in our lives. Those times have forced us to lean in closer to You. Thank You, God, for the uncertainties weve experienced. They have deepened our trust in You. Thank You, Lord, for the times You came through for us when we didnt even know we needed a rescue. Thank You, Lord, for the losses we have experienced. They have been a reminder that You are our greatest gain. Thank You, God, for the tears we have shed. They have kept our hearts soft and moldable. Thank You, God, for the times we havent been able to control our circumstances. They have reminded us that You are sovereign and ultimately in control. Thank You, God, for Your ability to take what we consider tragedy and turn it into a treasure. Thank You, God, for those You have called home to be with You. Their absence from this earth reminds us to keep our eyes fixed on heaven. Thank You, God, that we have an inheritance in the heavenly places...something that this world can never steal from us and we could never selfishly squander. Thank You, God, for the greatest gift You could ever give us: forgiveness through Your perfect Sons death on the cross on our behalf. Thank you, God, for the righteousness You credited toward us, through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Its a righteousness we could never attain to on our own. Amen
