Joy, Thanks & Praise

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our Salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods. [Psalm 95:1-3 (NKJV)]

Thank you for this moment, this hour, this day, this week, this year, this very life you have given me! Let my heart sing with joy today and every day. Praise God from whom all blessings do, indeed, flow!

TELL GOD WHAT YOU NEED

Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. [Philippians 4:6 (NLT)]

O Lord, it is so easy to tell you what I want, which often is not what I need. And it is so difficult to thank you for your response when you give me what I need instead of what I want. When you send me challenges, I rarely appreciate them and certainly don’t thank you for them when they arrive. Yet, those challenges are exactly what are necessary for my growth.

Teach me, Lord. Show me how to ask for what I need and give me a thankful heart for what I get.
