God loves a thankful heart. When Jesus fed the 5000 people with bread and fish, he did not look into the small portion of 5 loaves. Instead he gave thanks for the small portions and then the miracle happened. It multiplied, feeding the thousands who were hungry.
If Jesus who came from the bosom of the Father gave thanks, how much more should we!
When thanks arise from our hearts.,there is no pride or ego inside of us. We are submitting ourselves completely to Him. We are letting go. And His grace is sufficient for us in the time of weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9)
It is said in the bible , Do not be anxious of anything, but in every situation, by prayer, and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to god. (Philippines 4:6) be it any situation, always be thankful. Miracle is sure to happen.
Thanking God pleases Him.
When you feel that you don’t know what to pray and how to pray,look into your daily life. Imagine- you woke up this morning healthy and happy, you have food on your table, you have shelter above your head. How much more grateful can you be.
I’m sure He will bless you even more when thanks arise from your lips. It’s my personal testimony.
From the smallest to your biggest needs.. He knows.. the things you’ve taken for granted, it’s not taken for granted by the Lord. He makes sure it’ll be done. If Jesus won’t do it for us His children, then to whom would He do it for?
Whatever may be the situation, Jesus will do it. And if you think it’s delayed, thank God it is. Because only good will happen to those who love Him(Romans 8:28). Our Father in heaven does only good to His children and only wants to do us good . So, with a thankful heart, present your request to God. He knows your heart more than anybody else in this world. He is our loving Father. Trust in Him!
