Thank Him Today
Scripture:
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. Psalm 20:4-5
Saints to you sometimes wonder if God really responds to your prayers? Do you walk around saying things like, "I hope I get this or I hope I can do that?" When you really want something, do you take your requests before God? Or do you just leave him out of it?
I want you to really think about this next question. When God does grant you the desires of your heart and/or he answers your prayers do you thank him? Or let's take it a step further, do you give him the credit for your victories? Do you tell others, especially those who need to hear about his wonders, how he blesses you?
You know, so often we ask God, we beg God, we cry out to God, to grant us the desires of our heart. But how often do we give him the credit for our blessings? We get so caught up with the me and I syndrome that we tend to forget about him who blesses us, despite us. We forget to thank him for our blessings. And worst yet, we fail to let others know that it's God blessings that have been manifested in our lives.
Saints of God, if God has blessed you today. Thank him. If God has answered your prayers, thank him and let others know how he has blessed you. If he wiped away your tears, delivered you from your enemies, if he has blessed you in anyway, thank him and then, you better tell somebody!
Be Blessed
Prayer:
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Lord, we come before the throne of grace this morning to thank You Lord. You blessed me once again, and I forgot to thank You. You blessed me with my home, my children, and so much more, and I forgot to thank You. You delivered me from the evil one and I didn't thank You. Forgive me Lord, for forgetting to let You know how much I appreciate everything You do for me. You know Lord, last week I asked for something that You gave me. Thank You. I asked You to watch over me and my loved ones and You did. Thank You. Lord, last night when I prayed, I asked that You would place Your hedge of protection around me and my loved ones and You did. Thank You. I asked You for prosperity, and as I sit here on my job, I just want to say thank You. Lord, maybe I don't have that job I wanted just yet, but You still fed me last night. Bless You Lord. I might have had to catch the bus this morning, but that's okay, I thank You for giving me bus fare. Lord, my blessings are too many to list right now, but I want You to know that I am grateful for each and every blessing that I have received. Not because I am worthy of Your favor, but because You love me. I thank You for just loving me. Bless Your name Lord. Praise the name of the Lord. I lift up Holy Hands and bow down my head in reverence to You alone. Thank You Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
