GOD
did it again
and I forgot to
THANK HIM~
for my prayer for safe travel for my husband
and they were safe,
but did I say
Thank you.
You know~
those "daily" prayers that you pray
that
GOD
always answers the way that you want
HIM
to
and then you forget
to say
Thank you.
Prayers like~
Be with me
Give me wisdom
Hold my tongue
Put a Hedge of protection
Get me get through this day
Bless this food
And then
GOD ANSWERS
and I forget
because I am
waiting for the answer for a
"Bigger" prayer.
Prayer is prayer~
all the same size
because
prayer is the privilege
to talk to
GOD~
to humbly say
YOU ARE GOD
and I am not.
I am not dummying down
the
"Bigger" prayers
for
the
Illness
Depression
Conflict
Life Changing Decision
Financial Burden
Prodigal Child
and
________________ (you fill in the blank)
because
there are way bigger issues
than
bless this food.
But
GOD
has reminded me
that
He is doing so many things
right before my eyes
that I forget to
THANK HIM
because my eyes get so stuck on me
that I just take for granted
all that
GOD
is doing in my life and in my heart
and it begins with
the simple breaths that I am taking right now
because they are from
HIM~
because
if it wasn't for
HIM
none of us would be here
because
HE
chose to
"knit us together in our mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13)
on purpose
for a purpose
and
that is where
GRATITUDE
begins.
So will you join me and say
THANK YOU GOD
for this precious moment
because
it is a gift
and it is quite
big
because
GOD
is always
bigger
because
HE IS EXTRAORDINARY~
"Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is the everlasting GOD, the CREATOR of all the earth.a HE never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of HIS understanding. HE gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:28-31
