A Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Forgive us for the times we focus on what we lack instead of the blessings we already hold. Teach us to live with hearts full of gratitude. Remind us that even in hardship, Your love endures forever, Your promises never fail, and Your grace is sufficient. May thanksgiving guard our hearts, renew our minds, and shape the way we live.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
