Prayer points
Thanksgiving — when things are well
For the day nothing is wrong, and you almost forgot to say so
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
Psalm 103:2 · King James Version
Father, nothing is wrong today, and I nearly let that pass without saying anything. Let me not be a person who only shows up in trouble.

Declarations
Say these out loud. Not to convince God — to remind yourself what is true when your feelings are arguing.
- The Lord has done great things for me.
- I am the one who came back to say thank you.
- Good seasons are a gift, not an achievement.
- I will give thanks in everything.
Father, thank You. That is the whole prayer.
