Thank You

Hebrews 13:15
Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

There is power in praise. Do you praise God? Besides attending church, I mean. Set aside a moment today to write down all you have to thank God for. Then, open your mouth in prayer and praise! Spend precious time thanking the Lord for who He is, what He has done and what He has given. This is a powerful practice that will pull you out of a pit of ungratefulness and depression!

Here’s an example of what your list may look like:

·        Thank you God for being –loving toward me, patient with me, abundant in forgiveness, gentle and kind in your dealings with me

·        Thank you God for –making a way for a sinful being like me to have a relationship with a holy and pure God like You, saving my soul and choosing me, restoring my mind and thinking process, always providing for me

·        Thank you God for giving me –a beautiful family, shelter, food, clothing, friends and fellowship, safety
