Prayer of Thanksgiving for Answered Prayers

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Lord, I will bless you at all times, and your praise will forever be on my lips. What shall I return to you my God for all your benefits towards me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and I will call on you as long as I live. Who am I that Yahweh is concerned about me? Who am I that Yahweh has chosen to release His favor and blessings on me? I will bless you, God, as long as I have breath in me. You have done me well! 

Lord, I cried unto you and you heard my prayers. You never turned your face away from me. You have filled me with gladness. I rejoice from the depths of my being. You have lavished me with your goodness, so I can say as David, “surely goodness and mercy will follow me all my days”. I am so glad that I waited on you, Lord. You are true to your promise that “those who put their trust in you will never be disappointed”. I have a testimony to tell, and a song to sing. God has done me well! I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

I know many will not understand my praise and gratitude. I waited, I prayed, I cried, and I overcame the lies of the enemy trying to convince me that things would never change and my prayers would not be answered. But here I am, Lord, with hands raised and a heart filled with gratitude. No words are enough to express my thanks and appreciation to you for showing up for me. Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is gracious, for His lovingkindness endures forever! Let the redeemed of the LORD say so! Amen
