Today’s prayer
Written prayerLord, your word says we are to give thanks in all things, not necessarily for all things. As I lift up praises to you Lord, you inhabit my praises. Having a spirit of thanksgiving and an attitude of praise lifts my countenance and draws the presence of God into my circumstance. If I let the circumstances shape my attitude and cause me to worry and get angry I'm moving out of the alignment for your blessings. When I trust in you and choose to be grateful for everything that I encounter whether I perceive it as good or bad but give thanks knowing you have a blessing somewhere in this for me, I will move through the situation more quickly and with joy. I have so many things to be thankful for that I take for granted. Help me focus on those things instead of the problems I think I have to fix. I get caught up in the worry of how I am going to do it. I forget about you but when I trust in you and continue to pray with a thankful heart you show up to show me the way and pour forth your miracle working power on my behalf. Don’t let me grow apathetic in my prayer life and thanksgiving. Help me be grateful everyday even for the littlest things. Life is a gift and I am grateful for every breath I take. In Jesus name, amen.
