Holy One, Father of the Earth
Create in me a pure heart
So I can come in Spirit and in Truth
To worship You that’s what I long to do
I love to praise
I love to lift Your Holy Name
From the rising of the sun
And going down of the same
Your name is great
I will bless You all my days
‘Cause I love to praise
Righteous One, Lover of my soul
Age to age, forever still the same
Your name is like the sweetest melody
Here with You is where I long to be
You are Holy
My lips shall always speak Your praise
You are Worthy
Forever I will always sing Your praise

Oh, how sweet it is when we choose to look at our lives and the blessings God has given us with praise. Praise to the One Who is the Provider, the Healer, the Vindicator (and the list goes on).
Life is better when we choose to meditate on and be thankful for the good things in our lives. There is always, always something to be grateful for! I found this excerpt on what a difference being grateful can do for our lives….
“Gratitude has been linked to increased levels of happiness and life satisfaction. Giving thanks is one of the most powerful ways there is to increase your well-being.” (Click here to read a whole list quotes about gratitude.)
Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
— William Arthur Ward
When we choose to look at our blessings and praise the One Who blessed us, our whole perspective on life will change. I would much rather be looking at what God is doing instead of the circumstances surrounding me.
Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Ephesians 5:20
We are to give thanks in all things…not that all things that happen in our lives will be good. However God promises to work them for our good. ALL things…not just some thing. It is in the hardest of circumstances that we can grow and learn the most and God is ALWAYS working…
But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”
John 5:17 NLT

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are ALWAYS working and that You never sleep. Thank You that You work ALL things for good for those who love You…and we do love You, Lord! It is in the hard things that we become stronger and wiser. So for this we give thanks for we become a better person because of them. In Jesus’ name. AMEN!!!
