Thanking God

This past Sunday our lesson was entitled ‘Thanking God.” The sermon explored the idea of thanking God in prayer and that the absence of a thankful life can rob us of so much in life. So, in the spirit of thanking God in prayer I submit this prayer to God as you listen in.

“Dear God I thank You that our house was broken into last week, while we were at YBC attending Pre-teen Camp. I thank You that my son who discovered it handled everything just right. I thank You that no one was hurt. I thank You for the friends and neighbors who came over and helped me fix the door and make our house secure again. I thank you for the people at YBC who took up a collection while I was gone that covered half of what we lost. I thank You for the people in our congregation in Bakersfield who took up a collection that covered the other half of what we lost. I thank You for the example my children saw in our community of believers who put their faith into action. Yes God, I thank you that our house was broken into and that what was meant for evil was turned to good by your love and power. Thank you God.”

What will you thank Him for today?

This Sunday’s Lesson: “The PERFECT Father.” Hmmm, I wonder Who it is about?
