Just To Say: Thank You Lord!

So the work week begun and by lunchtime on Monday I was exasperated to say the least. The rollercoaster ride had reached my department and desk. Needless to say, with all the commotion and the rain (which meant traffic), I got home a whole lot later than I would have wished to.

I had some time, before my final leg of the journey home, and decided to read my Bible. I read 2 Timothy Chapter 2 and part of one verse stood out, verse 19 says:

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.

In that moment all I wanted to do was to say: Thank You Lord. I felt so grateful to know that God is unshaken and He knows who belongs to Him. I knew that everything was going to be okay.

Taking the opportunity to examine my day closer, the more I looked, the more I had to say: Thank you Lord.

Thanks For Even The Small Things

He woke me up – I breathed life for another day; had a warm bath; dressed myself; I had transport to get to my taxi stop; had money in my pocket; had a job to go to; breakfast to eat, and so much more.

Yes, I know they’re not the ‘big’ or exciting things, but as I sat there I thought – what if I didn’t have these things today, these simple, taken for granted things.

So the next time you feel the rollercoaster ride coming close to your doorsteps, take a breath. Remember that God’s life-giving Spirit is in you and He has your life in His hands and with Him your worse day is still so much better.

Remind yourself by looking closer and saying: Thank you Lord for every good thing – big and small. For the things He’s done, be like the one leper who thought it necessary to say thank you (Luke 17: 11-16).

And just in case the rollercoaster has gotten to you and you can’t find the courage to look closer or you have become overwhelmed at the circumstance – I want to leave you with this scripture:

1st Thessalonians 5: 18 (says) – Thank God in everything. No matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks. For this is the will of God for you who are in Christ Jesus, the Revealer and Mediator of that will.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Let us Pray

Heavenly Father, I praise Your Holy name. I Give thanks to the Lord, for You are good. Your love endures forever.

I thank You my God, for your grace given to me in Christ Jesus. The Lord is my strength and my shield. In him my heart places it’s trusts, and I receive my help from the Lord.

I give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds, for he satisfies me when I’m thirsty, and fills me when I’m hungry. Thank you Lord for Your faithfulness and love. You are an awesome God.

And thank you for waking me up this morning to see another blessed and wonderful day. I thank YOU, LORD, for the faith YOU have bestowed upon my life, knowing that greater is HE that is in me than the one that is in the world.

Grant me grace to walk, more and more, in YOUR will and not my own. Forgive me for not thanking YOU as often as I should.

And forgive me for sometimes taking for granted what I possess, as there are those who don’t experience YOUR sweet embrace, and have never experienced the joy and freedom found in YOUR presence.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen and Amen.

  1. I am asking prayer that God will draw my oldest brother closer to Him. He has been drinking constantly and stressing hard. I don’t know why his wife hasn’t taken him to go get help. I have express to my brother I need him to get in AAA classes and even seek therapy. I don’t wanna lose him and he does have two girls in college. I pray that God would heal him from whatever is causing him to drink in Jesus Name. I pray he will go get a check up and start taking better care of himself in Jesus Name. I pray he will get his relationship with God back in order and talk with God about all his issues. I just got off the phone with him telling him talk with God. I pray he wakes up and things begin to change in Jesus Name. I don’t have nothing against his wife but it’s like she’s not concern with him drinking himself like this and I wonder why or what is doing. God please help my older brother because I wanna see him come on out of this way of living in Jesus Name Amen.

    True we need to thank God for these small things.

    Some people are giving up on life because they lack them.
    God help me not to take these small testimonies for granted. But I will remember to glorify your name

    Amen and Amem
