4:53 My friends, welcome to your meditative prayer on morning gratitude. To get the most out of your spiritual journey, use pray dot com every day and make prayer a priority in your life. Our goal for
5:04 today's meditative prayer is morning gratitude. At the start of this day, we just want you to enjoy a moment with God. Close your eyes, take a
5:16 deep breath in, slowly breathe out. Prepare your heart to hear a word of encouragement for this day. Now take a moment just to pour
5:28 out your adoration to God for who he is. Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds, rejoice
5:40 before him for his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows is God in his holy dwelling. May the name of the Lord
5:52 be praised. Whatever the day ahead of you holds, you can be thankful for it. Some days you wake up with a rigid schedule to follow, other days are free of
6:03 obligations and open to whatever you desire. One thing you must always hold present is this, no matter what is done this day, let it be done for the glory of God. If you
6:15 follow this simple mindset, you will always be thankful at the end of your day, for everything you do will be done for the Lord and through him. Now this is not to say this is an easy
6:27 way to live. Let us now reflect for a moment on the times your actions were unbecoming. Think on those situations where human desires got the best of you.
6:39 Recent moments and circumstances in life where you made ungodly choices. Gather all those decisions and place them in the hands of Jesus. Confess
6:51 to the Lord your struggles with human nature. And now take a moment to dwell on previous days filled with the goodness of God. Remember how it felt to
7:03 act in accordance to the will of Jesus. How amazing it was to go about your day with God's presence by your side. Thank God for the ability to have fellowship with
7:14 him. Give thanks for the moments when the Holy Spirit ministered into your life. Thank God for the blessings of past seasons of goodness and accomplishments
7:26 and for those yet to come, and thank him for the strength to make godly choices and to keep making them. Do not forget, God is
7:38 present and he's listening to you. He desires for you to live a life of righteousness and goodness. Jesus wants to help you live your days according to his
7:49 word, to bless the work of your hands and make you prosper. So let him. Pray to God and ask for his will to be done.
8:02 Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you to seek the wisdom of the Bible, to spend time reading and understanding God's directions for a better life. Remember,
8:14 everything you say and everything you do should all be done for Jesus. And in all you do, you are to give thanks to God the Father through Christ. My friends
8:26 decide today to experience life in a fulfilling and satisfying way, in a way where your actions will bring glory to God. Choose this day
8:38 to live your life for Christ. Thank you all for completing today's meditative prayer on pray dot com. By incorporating this healthy habit as a daily practice, you
8:50 are making prayer a priority and strengthening your walk with God. As always, I'm Zach Clinton from the American Association of Christian Counselors, and we love being a part of your
