Closing Reflection
Keep reflecting on these quotes; let them simmer for a while until they guide you into a deeper awareness of God’s uncountable blessings in your life and in the lives of those around you. I pray that thanksgiving will be more than a moment in your life but a mindset, a posture, and a daily choice to express gratitude to God and to people.
If you do not have a relationship with God, and you desire to—and the Holy Spirit has convicted your heart of God’s truth and love—begin with the confession below.
God, I confess that I am a sinner, and I have fallen short of Your glory. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ died and rose again for my sins. Therefore, I confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Let Him be my Lord henceforth, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
