The Word of God tells us over and over again that we are to be thankful in every circumstance in our lives whether we feel it is a blessing or no: because no matter what happens, God is in it working on our behalf. He knows what is best for us and is always, always working it out for our good and for His glory.

He knows what is best for us and is always, always working it out for our good and for His glory. He wants us to give Him all our cares because He cares for us; there is nothing in our lives that He is not concerned about. So be thankful, giving Him praise and glory, standing on your faith that it is working for your good!!!
Recently I came across this prayer to God by someone thanking Him for all His blessings even though they have not manifested yet. This is certainly a prayer that we can attach to our lives as we show God that we are thankful.
"Dear God:
I want to thank You for what You have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking You right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better, I am thanking you right now; I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me, I am thanking Your right now. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears; I am thanking You right now. I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank You right now. I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet, I am going to thank You right now. I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job, I am going to thank You right now. I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am going to thank You right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed. I am thanking Your right now. I am thanking Your because I am alive. I am thanking You because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles. I am thanking You because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better. I am thanking You because You have not given up on me." (Author Unknown)
What prayers do you have on the altar, what are you waiting for the Lord to do in your life or your loved ones'? Start thanking Him right now for the answers that are on the way.
"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." I Thessalonians 5:18. "O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever." Psalm 136:1.

I was in a church service one time when there was a "prophet" praying for the people. After a time, he called for an offering and had his mind totally on the offering instead of the people coming for prayer. One man went for prayer while the offering was being taken and the "prophet" told the man to come back to another service and then he would pray for him.

When we focus on money and things – possessions, we put them before God and forget about Him. Jesus said it is hard for a rich man to enter into heaven. Why is this so? Because he feels he has all he needs and doesn't need God, the One who has the whole world in His hands. A rich man depends on his riches and possessions to gain whatever happiness he needs in life: not realizing that the mammon is temporal and will pass away.

In this day and time men need encouragement like never before. They need to know that they are loved and very much need in this world. They also need Godly wisdom and understanding of the ways of the kingdom of God. Jesus is our supreme example in how to live as holy men of God. He prayed often to the Father, putting His earthly life completely in God's hands.
