Why are we asking for things that God already  blesses us with. Instead, we should be thanking Him for His blessings . Thanksgiving is an act of faith.

” Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,  Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,  Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” ( Psalms 103 : 2-5 NKJV).

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? ( Romans 8: 31-32 NKJV).

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV).

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ “(Ephesians 1: 3 NKJV).

” Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.”(1 Peter 2:24 NKJV).

“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,  as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,  to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.”( 2 Peter 1:2-9 NKJV).

Let’s pray 🙏🏽
Heavenly Father ,You are a good, good Father. We praise you for the promise of Your presence in our daily life and your moment-to-moment nearness. Forgive us for complaining or remaining in a place of disbelief as we have been too focused on our circumstances at times rather than on the goodness of you. Thank you for your Word and for today’s reminder that you are completely with us in the middle of our circumstances as you have gone before and behind us. You know the beginning from the end of the circumstance we’re facing. Forgive us for not putting our focus on the good things that you have placed in our lives as we are surrounded by your hand of blessings. Remind us each day to focus on the good things and all the blessings that come from you. We are not just blessed with the good things day to day, but we are lavishly cared for as there isn’t a moment that you are not by our side as we are navigating through our hard circumstance. Lord, what we are going through doesn’t feel good, but please remind us each day we wake up that you are good as we believe you for all the good things that are in our present life now, and for all the good things that are to come. We love you, and we’re forever grateful for the fact that we are abundantly cared for and loved by you. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, WE PRAY. AMEN 🙌 👏 🙏.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].
