Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, and for His wonderful acts to
the children of men! 4 For everything God has created is good,
and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5 for
it is sanctified [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the word of God and
prayer. Giving thanks always
for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8فَلْيَحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ عَلَى
رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. 4لأَنَّ كُلَّ خَلِيقَةِ
اللهِ جَيِّدَةٌ، وَلاَ يُرْفَضُ شَيْءٌ إِذَا أُخِذَ مَعَ الشُّكْرِ، 5لأَنَّهُ
يُقَدَّسُ بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَالصَّلاَةِ.
20شَاكِرِينَ
كُلَّ حِينٍ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فِي اسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، ِللهِ
وَالآبِ.

Today is American Thanksgiving Day. Best wishes to all my American friends and family and to the whole nation.
Some of us today are experiencing bright
circumstances, and some of us are facing bleak circumstance. Let us remember
that everything that God has created is good and is to be received with
gratitude giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Giving thanks in all things (no exceptions) is only
possible when we understand that every situation is used by our loving Father
to further our dependence on Him and make us more like His Son Jesus. God is
determined to conform us to the image of Christ through the inevitable
afflictions that accompany life. Having, cultivating,
and maintaining a grateful heart that continues to pulsate with thanksgiving,
even in trials, presents a big challenge to me and maybe to you too. Thanking
God in the trials is difficult, however I believe that when we do, His purposes
and presence will illuminate our path and carry us through any trial.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for loving me with a deep, unfailing, steadfast, and everlasting love,
thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your
grace upon my life. Lord help me to always see Your hand in my life and to be
grateful for Your wisdom. Lord give me a grateful heart that continues to
pulsate with thanksgiving, even in trials. Lord I ask that through my gratitude
during trials that Your purpose and presence will illuminate my path and carry
me through. Thank You God that
You are determined to conform me to the image of Christ through any
tribulations in my life. Surely the righteous shall give
thanks to Your name; the upright shall dwell in Your presence. Psalm
140:13 I give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His
mercy endures forever: Psalm 136:3 In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. To Jesus be the power, the glory, and the dominion
forever and ever. Amen.
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
