Dear God,

As this day comes to a close, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for the small blessings that filled my day, the quiet moments of peace, the smiles shared, and the unseen protection that carried me through.

Lord, it is easy to overlook the simple gifts You place in my path, yet tonight I choose to pause and acknowledge them with thankfulness.

I am grateful for the breath in my lungs, the food that nourished me, and the roof that sheltered me. Thank You for the people who crossed my path, whether family, friends, or strangers, each one a reminder of Your love working in the world.

Even in the challenges of the day, I see Your hand guiding me, teaching me patience, and strengthening my faith.

Lord, remind me to treasure the little things—a gentle breeze, a kind word, a moment of laughter—as reflections of Your goodness. These blessings may seem small, but they are threads that weave joy and hope into my life. May I never take them for granted.

As I lay down to rest, I ask for Your peace to quiet my heart and mind. Cover me with Your presence and renew my strength for the day ahead. Let gratitude be the song of my soul, not only tonight but each day that follows.

Thank You, Father, for every blessing—both great and small. In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV):
