praise and thankfulness

Blessed God,

Thank You. I was coming here to whine. Even as I was entering the date the groaning had begun. The list of all the things for which I am unqualified and unprepared was growing. And in one fell swoop, You changed my thinking to praise and thankfulness.

You have blessed me far more than the number of mistakes I’ve made. You continue carrying me every single time I falter. Thank You God. Thank You so very much.

Rather than list my failings, “Every day I will bless You and praise Your name forever and ever” (Psalm 145:2). Praise and thankfulness are so much healthier to my wellbeing. Keep working in, with, by, through and for me Dearest God. Teaching me how to do all that you have set out with my name on it.

I love You. I need You. I trust you. I want You. Continue growing me as You know is best. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
