Thank You

Thank You

As we look toward Thanksgiving, I wanted to direct our attention to Scriptural prayers focused on gratitude. In fact, two of Jesus’ recorded prayers touch on this very theme. This week we look at His prayer from John 11 in which He paused to pray before raising Lazarus saying, “I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me…” (John 11:41-42). Did you catch that? Jesus thanked His heavenly Father for always hearing His prayers. The wonderful news is that—for those of us who are in Christ—He always hears our prayers too. This doesn’t mean every answer is yes, but He most certainly always hears. Rejoice with gratefulness today knowing your every prayer is heard on high by your loving Father. Now that’s something to pray about!
