“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations” Psalm 100:4,5 ESV

God is worthy of PRAISE! When we give thanks to Him, He welcomes the offering of love and adoration. As we pray with gratitude for ALL that He does, God reminds us WHY we are blessed. 

Sometimes we forget we're held by God’s greatness. We become impatient while we WAIT for Him to guide and provide. But as we pray and follow Christ, we find PEACE as we step in the fullness of compassion and breathe in the goodness of God. 

God knows what we need to welcome STRENGTH and learn lessons along the way. He renews our souls as we remember who’s in charge of our days. He allows us to witness amazing things as we recognize His timing is not our own.   

God helps us examine our lives and recognize WHY we need Him. He opens our eyes and helps us welcome truth. His mercies are new each and every morning as we rise ready for what’s to come and believe in His promises.  

As we embrace an attitude of gratitude, God will remind us WHY He is deserving of our love. He will help us find PEACE and fill us with desire to thank Him for ALL that He does to handle our lives. God is HERE and He loves us. May we find HOPE in knowing there will never be a day without Him. 

“Praise opens the way for God's blessings over our lives.” 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. Romans 15: 13 NIV

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence. Forgive us when we forget who’s in charge of ALL things. Help us recognize we need to love You more and learn to live with patience. Humble our hearts, so we will witness Your blessings. Help us welcome joy as You renew us with the power of Your strength. We will begin each day with praise, as we faithfully trust in You and remember You have plans for a future that is good. Thank you, Lord. Amen
