Today’s Scripture: I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, Ephesians 1:16 ESV
Reflecting today on the third anniversary of Affirmations of God I am thankful to God and to you. I give thanks for you and pray for you now that you too will know the hope in Christ Jesus that you have helped give to me.
My heart is filled with joy and I stand in awe at the wonderful things God has done. My life overflows with thanksgiving because of what God and you have done.
I am thankful for God’s calling for us. I answer God’s calling by seeking the affirmations in His word and witness what He does with them. I am thankful for the calling I know He has for you. The LORD blesses us.
I am thankful the LORD gives us all a future and a hope. Every morning I find God’s compassion and His faithfulness and I know you will too.
Thank you for encouraging me and I pray for you as you do His will.
Today’s Prayer: Father I praise You and come before You with a thankful heart for all You have done for me and for those who have blessed me. I am thankful for the calling You have given all of us and pray for all those who have encouraged me without even knowing it. I am thankful You will do wonderful things through all of our lives. Amen
