Prayer of Gratitude

2 Samuel 7:22

This is why You are great, Lord God! There is no one like You.

God spoke to David through a prophet named Nathan. God said that He would be with David all the time, peace would be upon him and his kingdom, and enemies would not harm them. God also said that He will always take care of David's family and descendants, and David's throne would be established forever. What beautiful promises from God! Upon hearing this, David was deeply moved. He was so grateful and felt the love of God overflowing in his heart. He prayed, praised, and worshipped God to show his gratitude.

David understood that he received such grace, not because of who he was. Even though he was a king, he was so small compared to God. David knew that he received this beautiful grace because of who God was. He gave praises to God for His greatness and faithfulness. 

You and I should also be grateful for the grace and blessing that God has given to us. God’s grace and blessing reflect the greatness of the Giver, not the receiver. Let’s give God a prayer of gratitude every single day because His grace is new every morning!

Prayer

Dear God, who am I that You love me deeply. I am forever grateful for all Your blessing and grace upon me. Amen.
