We often share expressions of thanks through cards and letters to people who have made a significant difference in our lives. Because of the Faithful God that we serve, His word, and Him being with us throughout life’s experiences, we have a multitude of things for which we can give thanks. This is why it would be so fitting to write a special letter of thanksgiving to God.
The letter will include the date and your salutation ie., Heavenly Father, Papa, Dear Lord, etc. In the body of the letter write what the Lord means to you. Be sure to incorporate some specific things that you are grateful for; this could include the past, present, and/or future. Close your letter with confirming words of your faith and trust in God. For instance, what you will do and why, “Lord, I will continue to praise because You are everything to me.” You can also add some additional words of thanks such as, “Thank You for Your unfailing love for me.” A suggestion for your signature is to write something like, “Love, your daughter/son and your name.”
Don’t worry about the length of your letter or if it’s grammatically correct. Remember, you are writing it to your Heavenly Father and He just wants to hear what’s on your heart. He loves for us to communicate with Him.
When you are finished read your letter to the Lord. He will be so pleased to receive your sincere heartfelt expression of gratitude. God never leaves us out when we bless Him. He is so gracious and loving that He blesses us in return. Acknowledge the goodness that you feel out of fellowshipping with the Lord in this manner and thank Him for it.
Reflections
1) How did you feel while you were writing your letter to the Lord?
2) Were you able to feel the Lord’s presence or a strong since of His peace while you were reading your letter to Him?
- Do you think you will write any more letters to the Lord?
God Bless,
