Praying from 1 Corinthians 14:17. Themes: Gratitude, Edification, Selflessness.

Dear God, I thank you for the blessings you have bestowed upon me. Help me to always give thanks well and to acknowledge your goodness in my life. But also, help me to be mindful of others and to build them up with my words and actions. May my gratitude and kindness be a reflection of your love and grace. Amen.

Verse: For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
1 Corinthians 14:17

This is a Command. The verse is instructing the reader to prioritize building up others rather than just giving thanks for oneself.
