Personal Prayer
Praise God that he is great and greatly to be praised (Ps. 48:1). Give thanks for psalms and hymns that remind us to praise God every day in every activity with which we are involved. Confess your shortcomings in praising God too seldom or too generally. Commit yourself to thanking God for two things every day which you often take for granted. Ask him to help you be a more thanks-living person, joyfully serving him (1 Thess. 5:18).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your life may be an example of thanks-living so that family and friends may also give thanks in all things.

For the Church
Pray that your worship this day as well as throughout the week will “extol the LORD at all times, his praise will always be on [your] lips” (Ps. 34:1-2).

For the Kingdom
Pray that thanks-living on the part of every Christian will result in the lessening of racial tension, resolve conflict between peoples and nations, and make even “enemies live at peace with [you]” (Prov. 16:7).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for salvation for many seekers as a result of your thanks-living.

Prayer Pointer
“The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.” —Samuel Chadwick
