Each week, members of the Kroc Center and Kroc Church submit a number of requests for prayer. We welcome these from everyone in our community, and encourage all our Kroc Krew to lift up these requests in your own way. Don’t forget that you are always welcome to attend devotions on Tuesday mornings at 9am in the Administration Foyer; if you have a prayer request to share, you can post it on the board in the lobby, use the online form, or contact a member of the Kroc Church team.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His love endures forever Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever. – Psalm 136:1-3, 26
Psalm 136 reminds us that thanksgiving begins with recognizing God’s unchanging goodness. His love is constant, regardless of our circumstances. Even in difficult times, we can trust that His love endures forever. Gratitude starts when we focus not on what we lack, but on God’s faithful character.
The psalmist also calls us to remember God’s mighty works—how He created the world, delivered His people, and continues to provide. Reflecting on how God has worked in our lives deepens our gratitude and strengthens our trust in His faithfulness.
As we remember God’s goodness and provision, thanksgiving flows naturally from our hearts. This season, let us cultivate hearts full of gratitude, giving thanks for His love that never fails and His faithfulness that endures forever.
