THANK ME FREQUENTLY as you journey through today. This practice makes it possible to pray without ceasing, as the apostle Paul taught. If you are serious about learning to pray continually, the best approach is to thank Me in every situation. These thankful prayers provide a solid foundation on which you can build all your other prayers. Moreover, a grateful attitude makes it easier for you to communicate with Me.
When your mind is occupied with thanking Me, you have no time for worrying or complaining. If you practice thankfulness consistently, negative thought patterns will gradually grow weaker and weaker. Draw near to Me with a grateful heart, and My Presence will fill you with Joy and Peace.
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
During this week our thoughts focus on all we have for which to be thankful. But please remember, that as we count all our blessings, our thankfulness should also extend to those things that we would rather do without.
It is easier to thank God for our positive blessings and gifts. However, it is even more important to give thanks for the hurts and pains we endure as humans. For there is no hurt or pain that can overcome God’s desire that we be the very best we can be; even, and especially, when that best good comes wrapped as losses or setbacks.
So, let us be thankful this day, this week and every day for all that life brings our way. Then the blessings of God almighty will shower us with the most precious of all gifts; to live in joy and hope each day. Regardless!
Thank you, Father,
