When we give a thanks prayer up to God, like with the blessing prayer and the grace prayer when we give a thanks prayer in a sense we are acknowledging him for who he is too us, what he has done for us and given us, we also are stating that we are putting our trust in him not in our self’s for these things. Thanksgiving is an all-inclusive act that involves praise, worship and honor of God.

Today too many people put their trust in themselves not realizing that all comes from GOD and he gives as he sees fit.  2 Samuel 22:3 “The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.” And again in the New Testament it is written:

Philippians 4:6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

Every one of us likes to receive thanks when we have given or done something for another, it shows that the other person is grateful for what we have done.

God is our Father, provider, deliverer, comfier, protector, healer and so much more that it is only fitting that we offer thanks prayer up too him on a regular bases.
