Lord, I want to cultivate a grateful heart. Please help me, Lord, and open my eyes so that I can see all that I have to be thankful for. Enable me to recognize Your hand of blessing in my day to day life. Help me to express gratitude to You daily, for that is Your will. 

God help me to do all things without complaining, so that I don’t grieve Your Holy Spirit. By Your power I desire to be thankful in all circumstances, for this is Your will for those of us who belong to Christ Jesus. 

Lord help me to devote myself to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. May my heart overflow with gratitude to You, God, for You are good. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
