 Thank You for Your Blessings

A Reflection on James 1:17 and Psalm 103:2

Thank You for Your blessings—not just the grand and great,

But the thousand tiny mercies that surround me at the gate.

The breath within my lungs this morning, the strength to rise and stand,

The unseen hand that guides me, the grace that meets demand.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights. (James 1:17)

Thank You for the blessings that wear a common face:

The daily bread, the quiet peace, the shelter and the space.

The friend who speaks a timely word, the stranger's simple smile,

The strength to walk another mile, the rest after the trial.

Thank You for the blessings that came wrapped in pain—

The storms that drove me closer, the losses that became gain.

The pruning that brought fruitfulness, the waiting that taught trust,

The moments when my own strength failed and Yours became a must.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. (Psalm 103:2)

Thank You for the blessings I have not yet seen—

The future mercies held in trust, the grace that will intervene.

For You who have been faithful in every yesterday

Will not abandon me tomorrow; You will make a way.

So I lift my hands in gratitude, not for what I've earned,

But for the countless blessings that from Your heart have turned.

Thank You, Lord. For all of them—the seen and unseen, too.

My life is a testimony: Lord, I am blessed because of You.

Amen.
