Gratitude and Praise

In all things be grateful and give God praise...

A strong reminder. Gratitude lifts the spirit and aligns the heart with God’s presence.

In every circumstance — high points and burdens, victories and valleys — thanksgiving keeps us anchored. Gratitude is not denial of life’s challenges; it is declaration that God is greater than what challenges us.

Give thanks in all things not because all things feel good, but because God works in all things for good.

Praise shifts perspective. Praise strengthens faith. Praise invites peace. Praise honors the One who never fails.

Father, we lift our voices in pure thanksgiving. You have been faithful to Ekklesia — our Keeper, our Provider, our Deliverer, our Wisdom, our Peace. Every breath is evidence of Your mercy, every victory proof of Your hand, every open door testimony of Your grace.

We praise You because You are holy. We praise You because You are faithful. We praise You because You have never failed us and You never will.

Thank You for guiding this house. Thank You for covering every family. Thank You for strength in the storm, joy in the journey, and power in Your presence.

Let Your glory rest on Ekklesia. Let Your Spirit stir worship that shakes darkness. Let Your light shine through us in this city and beyond. Use us as instruments of hope, healing, and truth.

We give You honor. We give You reverence. We give You praise, now and forever.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
