Thank God
What do you have that you did not receive? With this searching question, we are invited to deepen and broaden our life of Christian thanksgiving.
Thank God takes us beyond the memes and self-help books that have made gratitude a popular yet superficial topic in recent years. True thankfulness focuses on the good and gracious Giver of all things. It is grounded in Christ and expresses itself through the Christian’s joyful response in heart and life.

Echoing these prayerful voices, Jesus taught us a profound lesson in what delights God when his people pray.
