Give thanks

"Now, Lord, I bring to you the best of the crops that you have given me." After you say these things, place the basket in front of the Lord’s altar and bow down to worship him. ~ Deuteronomy 26:10, 11 (CEV)

Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (CEB)
Lord, I confess that I tend to forget about you when things are going well. And I tend to get annoyed with you when things are not going well. But the reality is that you are a constant. Your love and care are with me regardless of the circumstances. So if things are going well, I will thank you for your love and care -- that which has brought me success. If things are not going well, I will thank you for your love and care -- that which has sustained me through the tough times. You deserve to be recognized in every situation. Amen.
