"Thank You."

 Tuesday, December 23, 2025 (5:44 a.m.)

Holy God,

Thank You.

When I can’t think of what else to say, “thank You” is always the best start. Thank You for teaching me that it really is just that simple.

There’s such a positive ring to the words. Depending, of course, on the sincerity and inflection with which they are spoken.

It never ceases to surprise me. Once the words come out of my mouth, my brain begins its shift to the endless supply of things for which I am truly thankful. Your love and faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23) being right there at the very top of the list. 

Father, I ask (Matthew 7:7a) You to set the tone for me today. A severe rain storm is predicted. Do all You must in, with, by, through and for me that I will be as prepared for it as possible.

Thank You Lord, that You are my “go to Guy.” Always available. Ready, willing and able to lead, guide and direct as You alone know is best.

Father, I love, need, trust and want You. Use me in worshiping, adoring, glorifying and enjoying You. This is the day You have made, I want to rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
