O God of love, I praise and thank You for this time of prayer. I thank You for Your grace in protecting me and my family to this very moment. In all the critical situations of oppression, You protected me through your grace. Realizing what You have done, I praise and thank You from the depth of my heart. In the midst of problems and struggles in the place of my residence, through Your grace You have carried us through. When flood waters engulfed us due to incessant rain, O Lord, You protected me and my family raising a hedge around us through Your power. You granted travel mercies for us to visit our relatives in all festive occasions without any trouble. I thank You for Your mercies that were adequate for all our financial needs. In all situations You have made us realize Your love daily and I thank You for that. O Lord, You have helped the children to earn good grades in all the examinations. I thank You for that. You also opened doors for higher studies. I thank You. At times of weaknesses and infirmities, You strengthened me and helped me carry out my responsibilities. Thank You, O Lord. In times when I was highly disturbed, not knowing to deal with them, You supported me and encouraged me. I thank You for that. O Lord, You increased my salary in unexpected moments. Thank You, O Lord. I praise and thank You umpteen times for the way You conducted us as a family through the whole year by being with us and guiding us. I offer this prayer of thanksgiving in the name of Jesus Christ, O Good Father. Amen.
