Grateful for His Goodness When Life Feels out of Control – A Nighttime Prayer

“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
– Psalm 136:1

Please Pray:

Heavenly Father, thank you for all the ways your mercy and goodness have completely transformed my life. You are love, you are faithful, you are good—and your mercy endures forever! I couldn’t be more grateful that you saved me from sin and death and have given me a new life in Christ Jesus. I’ll be honest: It is hard to see your good plans for me when it seems like my prayers aren’t answered in the way I expected. Help me to trust in Your goodness and the plans You have for me as I navigate trials like the one I’m facing now. I want to let go of my expectations for the outcome I desire, and I pray that You provide opportunities to share my testimony to give You glory and point others to Your merciful salvation plan. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
