Thanksgiving is powerful—not because everything is perfect, but because it acknowledges God even when things are not. It’s easy to give thanks when doors open, when prayers are answered, when healing comes. But there’s a different kind of power—the kind that shakes the heavens—when a person says “thank You” in the middle of silence, heartbreak, or waiting.
This kind of thanksgiving doesn’t come from comfort; it comes from conviction. It’s what happens when your soul remembers who God is, even when your circumstances try to make you forget. It’s not loud or performative—it’s often quiet, whispered through tears, spoken in faith, offered in surrender.
Thanksgiving in the dark is a mystery. It makes no logical sense. But it moves things in the spirit. It turns pain into worship. It becomes incense rising from the ashes. It says, “I trust You, not just for what You’ve done, but for who You are—even here, even now.”
So now, every prayer we raise, every plea we make—let it carry thanksgiving. Not because we have everything, but because we know the One who holds everything. Like Paul said: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6)
That kind of thanksgiving changes things. But more than that—it changes us.
