By Prayer and Petition with Thanksgiving #2

November 10, 2021 by Lauren 13 Comments

by prayer and petition with thanksgiving

This week, we continue lacing our prayers and petitions with thanksgiving to God.   Today, I found inspiration in the Psalms – chapters filled with praise and thankful songs.

Psalm 107 in particular is a call to give thanks.  And we have more than enough reason for unending gratitude.

 

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.  Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story…”  Psalms 107:1-2 NIV

 

More About This Passage of Thanksgiving

 

At the time of it’s authorship, the redeemed of the Lord referred to the nation of Israel, who had been saved from persecution, slavery, oppression and trouble, and brought back to the land from worldwide dispersion (Believer’s Bible Commentary).  And now, all of us who have been saved from slavery to sin count ourselves among the redeemed.

 

As we pray together, meditate on all the living God has redeemed in your life.  No matter what else we face, we can bring thanksgiving for that!

Replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

 

I would love it if you would fill the comments this month with things for which you thank our Lord and Savior.  Let’s flood this space with gratitude.  And don’t forget to share this on your favorite social media platform using the icons below.  Invite others to join in the thanksgiving.  And if you don’t want to miss any of the party, subscribe using the form on the right hand side of this page.

 

Praying for you in this.

    I love this, Lauren. My gratitude today is that He has wrapped His arms around me through His Word, His beauty, His children…and I have hope for life in this world of darkness. Only by His grace and mercy.

    I am so grateful for the grace of God–the power God supplies so that I can do things I’d never be able to do on my own.

    Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!

About Me

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here.
