Praying Thanks – Part 3
An outline for a prayer of thanksgiving from Matthew Henry’s, Method for Prayer.
We have reason to thank God for the spiritual mercies he has shown to Christians,
- For the strivings of the Holy Spirit with us and the admonitions and checks of our own consciences.
- For the saving change brought about in us by his blessed Spirit.
- For the remission of our sins, and the peace of our consciences.
- For the influences of grace in sanctification and perseverance.
- For sweet communion with God in holy ordinances and the communications of his favor.
- For gracious answers to our prayers.
- For support under our afflictions, and spiritual benefit and advantage by them.
- For the performance of God’s promises.
