Heavenly Father, it is impossible for me to give sincere thanks to You unless I have a grateful heart. Lord, I pray that You open my eyes to see and verbalize the little blessings that come especially when I’m walking through dark clouds of difficulty. My daily blessings, by far, outnumber my troubles. Good health, comfortable shelter, a loving wife, monies to take care of my needs, caring friendships and many other blessings seem all too common so I often take them for granted. At times I even feel entitled to these blessings. It is when I’m deprived of a particular blessing that I choose to either grumble or suddenly recognize a blessing that I’ve overlooked. Father, I thank You for Your daily provisions. Help me not to wait until trouble erupts before I look to You. Instead I want to be grateful for Your goodness toward me for past blessings and to remain confident that You will be just as faithful in providing for my future needs. And remind me to never take personal credit but realize that all good things are from You. In Your name, Jesus, I thank You today! Amen.

Amen. I'm thankful to everything I have. Guess that helps having lived in my car with my kids on several occasions for a while. You're thankful for the littlest things you have. Thankfully I was still working n able to keep our stuff in a storage unit. Kids would sleep in the car while I was at laundry matt that was open all night after I got off work n car right by door so I could keep an eye on them. Never forget those days or being grateful for everything we had then during hard times n I have now. One winter kids slept in warm clothes n in sleeping bags n in middle of night I'd crank car n go drive around town to heat up car. Was so grateful for that Grand Am (gifted to me by church as other single moms got cars too given to them .. not new but in good condition). Mine sure had great heat n kept my babies warm. Amazing the things you remember years later that God kept you n kids safe in a not great city n even gave me street smarts when I needed it. Blessed us during it all too from feeding kids to a cop minister putting us up in hotel with pool fee days then took us to his mom's home and let us stay with her n even a part time job that provided a home n utilities paid for by job n a paycheck too. God has been good in the worst of times for me n my kids❤️🙏❤️🙏
