Thank You Jesus Prayer

A powerful prayer of thanksgiving inspired by Bishop Gabriel Ganaka

The Thank You Jesus Prayer is a joyful Nigerian-style prayer of gratitude, inspired by Bishop Gabriel Ganaka. Rather than asking for anything, you name blessings and thank Jesus out loud, often for several minutes, and the repetition lifts the heart. It is a good prayer for the start of the week, after good news or when you need to remember how much you have already received. Many Nigerian Catholics use it in homes and prayer groups. It is easy to pray with children.
