To give thanks to the Lord in all things, during lack and plenty, sickness and health, brokenness and wholeness, despair and satisfaction, poverty and wealth, delay and prosperity, joy and sorrow, heartbreak and hope, for He is good and our only source of comfort and peace. In all situations; we are reminded to pray and present our petitions to God and we will find rest in Him.

PRAYER
We give thanks to You Lord for You are good and Your mercies endures forever. We give thanks to You Lord for You have provided for us, protected us, sustained us, comforted us, guided us, journeyed with us and supplied all our needs according to Your unending love. Have mercy on us Lord and cleanse us from all unrighteousness by Your precious blood. May Your peace Father that surpasses all understanding guard our hearts and minds always through Christ Jesus. Amen
