Lord, I am so very thankful for everything that you have blessed us with. We come to time of “trouble” in our lives and we then blame you for anything that isn’t going our way. In our selfishness we forget you and that just four days ago we were remembering the sacrifice of Christ for our sins.
In this time I would love to raise acknowledge all of the blessings the Lord has bestowed upon me. My family has been great through my entire life, there is no way that I would be the person I am today if not for their love and guidance. I thank you Lord for the air that you allow us to breath, the food you have blessed to nourish us physically. We way to often see these things as facts of life, when in fact they have come from you because of your amazing love for us. I thank you for water, shelter, and medical care. Lord I pray that I come to realize that the “problems” in my life come no where close to the facts of many peoples lives.
I live in the richest country on the EARTH – I have everything that I could ever need to sustain my life. I selfishly want more things to satisfy my “needs”, I need good tastin food, I need nice/trendy cloths, I need good grades, I need the newest gadget. All of these things that I “need” are just tools of the devil to draw us from the true nature of the all powerful God. By the nature of our fall we want what we do not have and will always strive to have more and more but never seem to be satisfied by it.
You alone Lord satisfy, please continue to teach me that truth.
