Prayer of Thanksgiving for an Answered Prayer
For the moment after the good news arrives — the test result, the job offer, the reconciliation you had been praying for — when it is easy to feel relief and move on without ever pausing to say thank you. This prayer is meant to be paused over, with the specific blessing named in your own words.
Lord, You heard me. I asked, not knowing if the answer would be yes, and You have been good to me. Thank You for this gift I did not earn and could not have arranged myself. Keep me from forgetting so quickly what You have done. Let this answered prayer remind me, the next time I am afraid to ask, that You are listening still. Amen.
