Theme: A GRATEFUL HEART FOR A NEW MONTH
*Scripture Focus:*
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
*—1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)*
*Reflection:*
Gratitude is a lifestyle that transforms not only our relationship with God but also the way we relate with others. The more we practice thanksgiving, the more sensitive we become to God’s hand in our lives and the lives of those around us. This new month of May is a divine opportunity to realign our hearts and lips to express consistent, intentional appreciation. Never underestimate the power of a “thank you” to God, a word of encouragement to a friend, or a note of honour to your Pastor who has been standing in the gap for you. Gratitude opens doors, keeps our hearts soft, and connects us more deeply to divine favour.

*THANK HIM AS YOU ARE LED:*
*I DECREE and DECLARE:*
*Opening Prayer*
My Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the blessing of seeing this new month of May. I recognize that every new beginning is a gift from You, and today, I choose to begin it with a heart full of thanksgiving. Let this day and this month reflect the depth of my appreciation for all You’ve done, all You are doing, and all You will do. Let my prayers be incense before You and my heart overflow with genuine gratitude. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

1) *Personal Prayer of Appreciation to God*
*Scripture:*
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” —Psalm 103:2
*Prayer:*
Lord, I stand in awe of Your goodness, mercy, and unfailing love. You have been my rock through every season, and I acknowledge that without You, I am nothing. Thank You for Your breath in my lungs, the strength in my bones, and peace in my heart. Thank You for preserving me from dangers seen and unseen, for healing me when I was broken, and for lifting me when I was down. I appreciate Your wisdom that leads me, Your hand that holds me, and Your grace that surrounds me daily. Let my life continually be an altar of praise unto You. Let the works of my hands and the meditations of my heart reflect Your glory and my gratitude. May I never lose the wonder of who You are. I declare that this month will be filled with moments of heartfelt thanksgiving.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen

2) *Personal Prayer of Appreciation to People Around Me*
*Scripture:*
“I thank my God every time I remember you.” —Philippians 1:3
*Prayer:*
Gracious Father, I thank You for the people You have strategically placed in my life—those who have supported, encouraged, and uplifted me in ways they may never fully understand. I bless You for family members who’ve stood by me in difficult times, for friends who’ve believed in me, for coworkers and colleagues who contribute to my growth, and for every kind soul who has helped me through a tough moment. Today, I choose to express my appreciation with my words and deeds. Teach me to see people through Your eyes, to value them deeply, and to speak life into their journeys. Let me never take relationships for granted, nor allow busyness to rob me of showing love and kindness. I ask for grace to be a giver of encouragement, a vessel of compassion, and a builder of hearts in this new month.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

3) *Personal Prayer of Appreciation to My Pastor and Prayer Partner*
*Scripture:*
“Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and doctrine.” —1 Timothy 5:17
*Prayer:*
Father, I thank You for the shepherd You’ve set over my life—a pastor whose commitment to prayer, truth, and spiritual mentorship has shaped my walk with You over the time. I am truly grateful for his sacrifices, his consistent intercession, and his unwavering faith when mine faltered. Thank You for his hidden tears, fervent prayers, and relentless pursuit of Your presence on behalf of others like me. I bless him today with joy unspeakable, strength renewed like the eagle, and divine covering over his household. Let every seed of prayer he has sown in secret produce a hundredfold harvest. May he be refreshed as he refreshes others, honoured in the land, and lifted continually by the hand of God. May I never take his labour for granted. Grant me the grace to support, encourage, and honour him continually.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray.

*Closing Prayer*
Father Lord, as I journey into this new month, let gratitude be my language, my posture, and my perspective. I commit to honouring You, appreciating the people You’ve placed in my life, and holding up the arms of those who pour into me spiritually. May my life be marked by thankfulness, and may this month overflow with testimonies of Your goodness. I receive grace to walk in the joy of gratitude and the strength it provides. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

I cover all my prayers and my declarations and my decrees and my commands and my supplications and my petitions and my confessions and my thanksgiving by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for absolute performance.
TODAY’S PROPHECY
Thus Saith the Lord,
*1) “MY Beloved Child, I have blessed you—and I take delight in watching you flourish. But as I lift you higher, I need you to remember this: Do not let your heart become proud because of what you have. What I’ve placed in your hands is not just for your enjoyment; it is also for MY purpose.*
*Do not put your trust in riches, for they are fleeting and uncertain. Instead, keep your trust firmly rooted in ME—your Living God, who gives you richly all things to enjoy. Yes, I want you to enjoy the fruit of your labour, but I also want you to remember that your true treasure is in your heart, not your hands.*
*I am calling you to something greater: Be rich in good works. Be eager to bless, quick to share, generous with what I’ve given you. Look for those you can lift, those you can help, and those who have no one else but ME—and you.*
*When you give freely, you are never poorer. In fact, you are laying up eternal treasures that no man can take away.*
*Stay humble. Stay generous. Stay aligned with ME.*
*As long as you remember ME as your Source, I will never stop pouring into your life.*
*I love you deeply,*
*Your Father and Provider,*
*The Lord God Almighty.*
