“THANK GOD FREQUENTLY as you journey through today. This practice makes it possible to pray without ceasing, as the apostle Paul taught. If you are serious about learning to pray continually, the best approach is to thank GOD in every situation. These thankful prayers provide a solid foundation on which you can build all your other prayers. Moreover, a grateful attitude makes it easier for you to communicate with GOD. When your mind is occupied with thanking The LORD, you have no time for worrying or complaining. If you practice thankfulness consistently, negative thought patterns will gradually grow weaker and weaker. Draw near to GOD with a grateful heart, and The LORD’S Presence will fill you with Joy and Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18 (KJV)
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. JAMES 4 : 8
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15 : 13
Prayer: God I want to stay connected to you all day. Help me to do by thanking you in every situation. Even the tough ones there is a lesson to be learned or someone I can encourage by what I’ve been through and I’ll be able to point back to how you never left my side. Fill me with your joy and peace as I trust in you today Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
