On Wednesday, we made a list of ten things for which we're thankful.
For our fifth simple way to show thanks, we're going to use that list again today.
Pray your list of thankfulness to God, expressing gratitude to Him for each of those ten things.Psalm 100:4 tells us to "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." I like to think that each morning, as I begin my prayer time, I'm entering into His gates and coming into His courts, so I want to start that process with thanksgiving and praise.
We want to cultivate a grateful heart throughout the year. Beginning our personal prayer time by giving thanks for several blessings is a great way to do that!
This is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI try to end my day by thanking God for what happened during the day, but oftentimes I fall asleep. ;) And I try to remember to thank Him during the day for the things that He orchestrates that I couldn't even foresee to ask for.
Love that idea - to thank Him "for the things that He orchestrates that I couldn't even foresee to ask for."
DeleteI love listening to my kids pray their lists of thankfuls each night, too!
