Thank God

 Dear God,

Finally, it’s time to go home for the weekend.

I want to thank You for what you have already done.

I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards, I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better, I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me, I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears; I am thanking you right now for sound health.

I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am thanking you right now for financial breakthroughs.

I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet, I am going to thank you right now no matter what.

I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job, I am thanking you right now for my promotion and lifting up.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now for the strength of character that I developed during this experience.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed. I am thanking you right now for victories won and unseen breakthroughs.


I am thanking you because I am alive.

I am thanking you because I made it through the day’s difficulties.

I am thanking you because with your help I have walked around obstacles and triumphed over difficulties.

I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

I’m thanking you because Father, You haven’t given up on me.

God is just so good and He’s good all the time.

Share this message with your friends. Fill up your heavens with praises and thanks to God.

He is worthy of our praise.

Meditation: But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. – Psalm 22:3 (KJV)

You will succeed in Jesus' Name!

Stay Grateful

Stay Grateful

A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing:

“Last year, I had surgery and my gallbladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time.

“The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job in the publishing company in which I had spent 30 years of my life.

“The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.

“And in the same year, my son failed in his medical exams because he had a car accident. He had to stay in bed at the hospital with the cast on for several days. The destruction of the car was another loss.

In the end, he wrote: “Alas! It was such a bad year!”

When the writer’s wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad and lost in his thoughts. From behind his back, she read what was written on the paper, left the room silently, and came back with another paper which she placed on the side of her husband’s writing.

The husband found the following written on the paper:

“Last year, I finally got rid of my gall bladder from which I had spent years in pain.

“I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can utilise my time to write something better with more focus and peace.

“The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any critical condition met his Creator.

“The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without getting any disability.

In the end, she wrote: “Last year was an immense blessing of God and it passed well!”

See. The same incidents but different viewpoints.

In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful but gratefulness that makes us happy. There is always, always, always something to be thankful for!

Your current position is somebody’s future expectation. Your life now is somebody’s prayer request. Don’t let the devil point at you that somebody is doing better than you. It is a strategy for ingratitude.

Anything you celebrate multiplies, anything you despise diminishes. Appreciation is the vehicle for acceleration. Gratitude is the lift to great altitude. To see what God will do, you must acknowledge what God has done.

Stay grateful.

Meditation: In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
