Here are some Scriptures to pray aloud with family and friends, along with some ideas for sharing together what God has done in and through your lives in this past year.

We give thanks to You, Lord, with all our hearts. We commit ourselves to telling others of all Your wonderful deeds (Psalm 9:1).

• Share one thing God has done for you this past year.

We thank You, Lord, for Your goodness and Your love that never fails (Psalm 106:1).

• Share one way you experienced God’s love this past year.

We give thanks to You, Lord, for Your unending love and how You have cared for us. You have satisfied our thirst and filled us with good things (Psalm 107:8).

• Share a need that was met or a blessing that came.

Even in the difficult times we praise You, O God, for You make all things work together for our good as we trust in You (Romans 8:28).

• Share how something good came out of a difficult situation.
• Think of others who need the touch of God in their lives and pray this prayer:

Lord, we lift up ______________ before You and ask that You, Father, may grant them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that they may know You better. We pray that the eyes of their heart may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which You have called them, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in Your holy people, and Your incomparably great power for us who believe (Ephesians 1:17-19).

Thank you, Lord, for Your many blessings this day. We honor You and acknowledge all that You have done. May we be vessels of Your love, witnesses to Your power, and carriers of Your grace. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
