PRAYER AND FASTING

OF THANKSGIVING FOR THE BLESSINGS OF THE PAST YEAR  

As we come to the final week of the year, we have a special opportunity to pause, look back, and thank God for the way He has led us throughout 2025.

Prayerful reflection and gratitude for God’s blessings are valuable spiritual practices that strengthen our faith, help us recognize God’s faithfulness, and remind us of His mercies. Over the coming week, we invite each of you to reflect on the blessings of the past year and offer praise to God for them.

On December 31, we will gather for a New Year’s Eve evening service to express our gratitude to the Lord with united hearts for all His goodness.

Give thanks to God:
  • For the many mercies and generous provisions He has given you throughout the past year. Share testimonies with family and friends, and praise God together.

  • For the challenges you have faced. Remember how the Lord carried you through. God was faithful in the past, and He will be faithful now and in the future. He “will not let you be tempted beyond your ability,” but will always provide the strength to endure.

  • For salvation and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, because “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

  • For the lessons the Lord has taught you. Even when we fall short, we can seek His forgiveness and guidance and continue “to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him.”

  • For our local church and for every spiritual blessing God pours out on us through the preaching of His Word and the care of people through the various ministries of the church.
