Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving: A Journey in Faithful Prayer

📖 Introduction

Prayer is the lifeline of our relationship with God—an intimate conversation that connects our hearts to His. Throughout the gospels, Jesus models powerful and purposeful prayer, showing us how to approach God with both honesty and trust. One remarkable moment to learn from is His prayer of thanksgiving in John 11:41-42, just before He raised Lazarus from the dead.
