Come With Gratitude

šāØ SUNDAY ā COME WITH GRATITUDE āØš
Sunday morning.
For many of us, that means church.
Worship.
Prayer.
Opening our Bibles.
And probably figuring out whether we have enough time for coffee before we leave. šāļø
But before we bring God another request todayā¦
What if we simply said:
āThank You.ā
š āEnter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.ā
ā Psalm 100:4 KJV
Sometimes our conversations with God can become a list.
God, I need this.
Please fix that.
Open this door.
Change this situation.
Help this person.
Answer this prayer.
And thereās nothing wrong with bringing our needs to Him. He invites us to.
But today, before asking God for what we still need, letās remember what Heās already done.
Thank You for waking me up.
Thank You for another breath.
Thank You for food.
Thank You for shelter.
Thank You for the people who love me.
Thank You for prayers Youāve answered.
Thank You for prayers Iām still waiting on.
Thank You for protecting me from things I never even saw coming.
Thank You for carrying me through days I didnāt think I could survive.
Thank You for grace.
Thank You for mercy.
Thank You for Jesus. š
And if life is difficult right now, gratitude doesnāt mean pretending everything is okay.
It simply means saying:
āGod, even here, I can still find a reason to praise You.ā
Maybe you donāt have everything you prayed for.
But look around.
Youāve probably got something today that you once prayed for.Ā š
Donāt become so focused on the next blessing that you forget to thank God for the one youāre already living in.
Today, before asking Him for anythingā¦
thank Him for everything you can think of.

COMMUNITY CHECK-IN
A-Tall-Order family, weāre filling these comments with THANK YOUĀ today! š
Hereās the question:
Whatās something in your life today that you once prayed for?
Maybe itās:
ā¤ļø Your family
š Your home
š¼ Your job
š An answered prayer
š± Personal growth
š A restored relationship
⨠An opportunity
āŖ Your church family
š Simply being here for another day
Big or smallātell us below.Ā š
Then find someone elseās blessing and celebrate with them by leaving a ā¤ļø or š.
And if youāre still waiting for the thing youāve been praying for, donāt feel left out.
Tell us one thing God has already doneĀ that youāre thankful for today.
Letās turn these comments into one giant Sunday praise report. šš
Because sometimes we need to stop asking:
āGod, when are You going to bless me?ā
long enough to realizeā¦
āWait. He already has.āĀ š
