Jesus,
As I journey with You today, please help me to thank You all through the day.
This practice makes it more feasible for me to pray without ceasing, as the apostle Paul taught.
I long to be able to pray continually, and thanking You in every situation facilitates this pursuit.
My thankful prayers provide a solid foundation on which I can build all my other prayers.
Moreover, it’s so much easier for me to communicate freely with You when I have a grateful attitude.
If I keep my mind occupied with thanking You, I’m less likely to fall into hurtful patterns of worrying or complaining.
I’ve seen that when I practice thankfulness consistently, negative thought patterns gradually grow weaker and weaker.
A grateful heart opens up the way for me to draw near to You.
And Your glorious Presence fills me with Joy and Peace.
In Your Name, Jesus,
Amen
