GRATITUDE & WORSHIP
Read: Job 37:14 and Psalm 107:1
Today is the last day of the fasting period. Look back once again. Read through your notes. What happened during these days? What did you experience? Take your time today to thank God for all of the experiences and encounters these last few weeks, and for all the big and small miracles you have already experienced. If you have experienced something special with God be sure to tell your group or friends about it.
If the fasting period was rather difficult for you and you don’t see much yet, then think a bit further back about all of the good things that you have already experienced in your life. We have so many reasons to be grateful. Every breath we take is a small miracle. Remember, we here in Canada belong to a small part of humanity that lives in great abundance.
Ask God for forgiveness too, when you have not been grateful and wanted more, or when you thought you were missing out. Let Him give you a new perspective today.

Prayer Declaration
If it had not been you, Jehovah Ebenezer, our helper on my side, where would I be? Your grace and mercy brought me through 2022 and now I have seen 2023. Father, I am thankful and appreciate all that You have done for me, my household, PPT households and the church.
Oh Lord, as we wait on you through intense prayers and fasting this month, let me, my household, and PPT experience “open heavens” creating spiritual opportunities resulting in having dominion over our lives (health, career, relationships, and finances).
I declare and decree that every spiritual valley in and around my life will be filled with an overflow of Jehovah’s blessings. I declare and decree that every spiritual mountain and hill in my way, in my family’s way, in PPT households’ way will be brought low in Jesus’ name.
I declare and decree that every spiritual crooked place in and around my life will be made straight by your power. I declare and decree that every spiritual rough way in my pathway, in my family’s pathway, PPT households’ pathway and the church’s pathway will be smooth.
I affirm that the zeal of the Lord will accomplish this. So shall it be.
