November 19: Prayers of Thanksgiving

The words “Thanks,” “Praise,” and “Worship” are mentioned over 100 times in scripture. This just goes to show how important it is to give thanks, not only in our spiritual lives but also in our everyday lives. To deepen your prayer life, try reading all the Psalms with an asterisk (*) and meditating on the words. Take time to apply the scriptures to your own life, and appreciate all the blessings you have. A heart full of gratitude can work miracles.
