Give a lot of time and effort to prayer. Always be watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2 NIRV

God finds the way to reach us. He orchestrates the rhythm of our days and teaches how to be grateful. He helps us feel His presence of peace and fills us with THANKSGIVING, as we recognize the offering of His love.

Sometimes, we forget to pray to the One who guides us through moments in our days and fills us with the power of strength. We forget we are loved and need to be reminded to prayerfully welcome Jesus.

Christ prepares us for the circumstances in our days. He teaches how to trust. And, when the timing is right, He places thankfulness in our hearts. He creates a melody of hope and readies us to make a joyful noise. He gives reason to respond to His greatness and glorify God.

When He has fine-tuned our lives, God will blend our thankfulness with the gift of His amazing grace. He will allow us to witness the offering of mercy and love. If we prayerfully praise Him for ALL things, He will reward our faithfulness and welcome the humbled prayers of our praise.

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Forgive us when we allow distractions of the world to quiet our rumblings of praise. YOU are deserving of love. We will trust You with all of our hearts and find reason to make a joyful noise. And, we will prayerfully welcome another day of purpose, as we recognize how lucky we are to be known by YOU. Amen
