Rev. Abe Heppner
Dear God,
Thank you for giving me a powerful foundation of faith in my life.
From this foundation, I am able to build so much peace, harmony and happiness, just by trusting in you and in your unceasing guidance.
I walk in gratitude daily for the miraculous way having faith in your will seems to work.
No matter what is going on around me, if I stand in faith, I stand strong.
I pray that I always have trust in your will to depend on, especially when my own will leads me astray.
I pray that my life be a testament to others of the wonders that happen when we put our faith in you, God, where it belongs.
Amen.

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
-1 Thessalonians 5:18
Lets revive the custom of blessing. When we bless someone, we show love and respect, encourage greatness and pride. Sincerely honouring the people and things in our lives is a wonderful way of showing gratitude to the Lord.
Sincere gratitude for the gift of life evokes sincere praise.
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
-2 Samuel 22:50
