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 begin to recognize the offering of His love.

Sometimes we forget to pray to the One who guides us through our days and fills us with the power of strength. We forget how much we're loved and need to be reminded to commune with God. We miss important opportunities to receive the blessings God has already planned to provide.

Christ prepares us for the circumstances in our days. He teaches us 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 of praise! He gives reason to respond to His greatness and shows us how to glorify God.

When He has fine-tuned our lives, God will blend our thankfulness with the love of 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 help us become stronger. He will ALWAYS welcome the prayers of our humbled love.

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Forgive us when we allow the rumblings of our praise to be silenced. YOU are deserving of ALL of our love. We will trust You with our hearts and find many reasons to say, "Thank you". And we will prayerfully welcome another day of purpose, as we recognize how lucky we are to be loved by You. Thank you, Lord! Thank you! Amen
