All that you have made gives thanks to you, LORD;
all your faithful ones bless you!
COLOSSIANS 3:16 (CEB)
Sing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
To be all that we were made to be, we need to allow gratitude to ooze from our lives—especially as we relate to God.
DAILY FODDER
What blocks the free flow of gratitude in your life? How do you address that blockage? While I strive to be thankful all the time I find it helpful to designate one day a week to be especially thankful. So, for me Thursday is always Thanksgiving Thursday. (I have similar designations on others days. For example, Fridays are for praying for my Family.)
PRAYER
Thank you, generous God, for the way that you have created the world and shaped my life. Forgive me for dashing along without so much as a thankful thought. Fill me with songs of gratitude. I'm going to let thansgiving freely flow everyday. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
