Prayer of Thanksgiving for the year 2022
It is indeed miraculous that we got to see this new year, 2022. It is magical! Some of us might see this as a random thing or just a norm. “I mean, what’s so special about getting to see 2022?” The truth is, many people dreamt of being alive to see this year, so many persons had even made plans of how the year would be for them; goals to achieve, people to see, resolutions to make, properties to purchase and a lot more. But unfortunately, these were mere dreams as they couldn’t live to see this New year. While some died from ghastly accidents, it was illnesses for others. These persons didn’t get to experience this new year.
We have a whole lot to be thankful for. If not for ourselves individually, for our families and loved ones. Some persons, last year, lost people so dear to death. If this is not enough reason to be grateful, at least be thankful that you can afford daily meals, you have a roof over your head and that you’re not roaming the streets naked. There are a million and one reasons to thank God. There are a lot of battles He fought for us last year and He keeps fighting 24/7.
This is a prayer of gratitude to God. Say this prayer:
“Blessed are you, Lord God
Blessed are you for ever
Holy is your name
Blessed are you for ever
Great is your mercy for your people
Blessed are you for ever
Amen!
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
We praise you and give you glory
We bless you for calling us to be your holy people
Remain in our hearts,
And guide us in our love and service.
Help us to let our light shine before others
And lead them to the way of faith.
Holy Trinity of love,
We praise you now and forever.
Amen!
We praise you, Father of all;
We thank you for calling us to be your people,
And for choosing us to give you glory.
In a special way we thank you for…
(State your intention)
Cleanse our hearts and our lives
With your holy word
And make our prayer pleasing to you
Guide us by your Spirit
As we follow in the paths of Jesus our brother.
All glory and praise are yours, Father,
For ever and ever
Amen!
Let us give glory to the Father
Through the Son
In the Holy Spirit
For God has made us His people, His Church,
And calls us to sing his praises.
All honor and glory and thanks are His,
And praise and worship belong to him.
To God be glory in his Church
For ever and ever!
Amen!
Thanks for a beautiful day: On a beautiful day,
We may thank God and praise Him for His many gifts.
Father of Jesus,
We praise you and give you glory
For the wonderful things you do for us;
For life and health,
for friends and family,
for this splendid day.
For these reasons, we pray as Jesus taught us:
Our Father, who art in Heaven…
Amen”.
