Thank You

Psalm 118:1

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His loveingkindness is everlasting.”

 

There are days when everything seems bight and beautiful and days that seem dark and ugly.  There are moments of laughter and joy and moments of heartache and sorrow.  There are times when life is full and wonderful and times when life feels empty and terrible. We can get caught up in the busyness of life and forget how to live life to its fullest. The demands often become overwhelming and our eyes grow weary from the struggles.  But I have good news for you. There is an answer to facing the challenges of this life and it is as simple as saying thank you.

 

Are you dealing with financial troubles? Tell the Lord Thank You for providing my needs.

Are you sick, run down, and tired? Tell the Lord thank You for giving me strength.

Are you worried about where your next meal is coming from? Tell the Lord thank You for feeding me.

Are you worried about a wayward child? Tell the Lord thank You for watching over my child.

Are you concerned for an unbelieving spouse, child, friend, etc? Tell the Lord thank You for their salvation.

Are you afraid of losing your job or do you need a job? Tell the Lord thank You for giving me work.

Are you on a timeline to sell your house? Tell the Lord thank You for bringing a buyer.

Have you studied hard for a test but are still worried about passing it? Tell the Lord thank You for giving me recall of the information as I take my test.

Are you abused, mistreated or hurting? Tell the Lord thank You for removing those who hurt you from your life, healing me from the effects and teaching me to forgive.

Are you suffering from an addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, food, or anything else that consumes you? Tell the Lord thank You for freeing you from the bondage.

Are you lonely? Tell the Lord thank You for being with me.

Are you sad? Tell the Lord thank You for restoring my joy.

Are you angry? Tell the Lord thank You for calming my spirit.

Are you grieving? Tell the Lord thank You for comforting me.

Are you struggling with your faith? Tell the Lord thank You for Your faithfulness to me and for the promises You give me.

 

Spend the day thanking the Lord; don’t ask for any thing from Him.  Thank Him for the promises He has given you.  Believe in advance that He will answer your prayers by thanking Him before He does it.  This is called faith. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever.

Thank You Father for loving me and for Your faithfulness to meet all my needs. In Jesus name Amen
