I remember also the apostle Paul (2 Timothy 1:8), who accepted his suffering for the gospel, believing that You would work it all for Your good purpose. I only have to look to Jesus (1 Peter 2:22), who committed no sin yet was crucified for my sin.
How can a good God allow helpless children to endure great hardships and faithful saints to be persecuted? I thank You, by faith, for the trials of this life because they draw me to You and remind me that this earth is not my home. If I didn’t have problems, my focus would grow inward. Thank You for wanting to shine through ordinary people like me. But when I remember that You are love and that You will love through me, I have hope. Love ( 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 1 John 4:16)Ībba Father, when I read that love is patient and kind, not jealous or boastful, not seeking its own, keeping no record of wrongs, I feel so inadequate. Thank You that the Holy Spirit understands my weaknesses and that He prays for me according to Your perfect will. I don’t know what to ask for and I don’t know what to do.
In everything give thanks to god bible verse how to#
Sometimes I just don’t know how to pray, Lord. The Prayers of the Holy Spirit ( Romans 8:26-27) It guides me, comforts me and gives me hope. Jehovah God, thank You for giving us the Bible - Your Word. Thank You for giving me my family as part of Your plan for me. Thank You, Father, for creating families. I know that I have been made right with You because of my faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ. Faith ( John 3:16)Īlmighty God, thank You that I don’t have to earn my way to heaven. Giving thanks expresses my trust that God is working all things for His good purposes (Romans 8:28) whether or not I understand how. I think it’s because giving God thanks for all things demonstrates a recognition that He is a good God (Psalm 118:29), regardless of whether I consider something to be a blessing or a burden. It’s easy for me to feel gratitude when I run my hands through a grandchild’s hair or smell the damp earth after a spring rain or gaze out of a frosted window at the new-fallen snow.īut what about the life of a newborn baby snuffed out before she took her first step? What about my mom’s ears that can’t hear my words? And what about a loved one shaking a fist and saying, “I don’t love you”? We’re told in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to give thanks in everything.
