Do We Forget to Say Thank You?
There are times we send forth prayers from the deepest parts of our hearts, petitioning the great God of the universe to intercede on our behalf.
We pray each day, focused and with great fervor, reminding the Lord of our need.
And God answers.
- The problem is solved.
- The solution makes sense.
- The worry is gone.
At this point in time, how much effort do we make towards saying,
Do we toss up a casual, “thanks, Lord,” and go about our merry way,
Forgetting all about the miracle of answered prayer?
I prayed for two weeks straight, trusting in God’s faithfulness and mercy.
Yes, He answered.
All good.
I am determined to go back again and again and thank Him.
Placing the same effort and commitment as the initial prayer – in my giving of thanks.
I imagine God is pleased with us when we respond in this manner.
Let us be a thankful people, rejoicing in our great God!
Has the Lord answered a special prayer for you this week?
How often how you thanked Him for it?
Have you offered up thanks with the same fervency of your initial request?
