For those of you on facebook, you have probably been seeing this on your friends post in a big box. It says,"What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?". WOW!! Would you have woke up this morning? I'm glad I did. Some mornings I wouldn't if God decided to make good on this statement.
When we pray, we do need to pray with a thankful heart. I Thessalonians 5:18 tells us,"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you". (KJV). I try to remember and start my prayers off with Thanksgiving first. God knows our hearts and what we are going to pray before we even ask. He wants us to be obedient and come to Him with a heart of Thanksving and our burdens we have and leave them with him.
We have a lot to be thankful for and in this world we live in today we must not leave God out and His many blessings He wants His children to have. When we get caught up in this world, we miss so many blessings when we take our eyes off Jesus. I struggle with this as I know many of you probably do too.
Let's remember to thank God for each day for all He has done for us which the greatest is, the sacrifice He made when He gave His one and only Son to die on a cruel cross on Calvery for our sins. But it doesn't stop there. He rose three days later so we can spend eternity with Him. That in itself, is cause
enough to give Him thanks for sacrificing His Son.
Next time you pray, remember to thank Him for all your blessings. You think you don't have blessings, if you are reading this, you are blessed.
God bless you today and always,
Beth
