IT IS A DANGEROUS THING TO ASK
WHY SOMEONE ELSE HAS BEEN GIVEN MORE.
IT IS HUMBLING - AND INDEED
HEALTHY - TO ASK WHY
YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH.
-Condoleeza Rice
LET US COME
BEFORE HIS PRESENCE WITH THANKSGIVING;
LET US MAKE A
JOYFUL NOISE TO HIM
WITH SONGS OF PRAISE!
Psalm 95:2 AMP
HEAVENLY FATHER,
I HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.
YOU HAVE PROVEN
OVER AND OVER AGAIN
JUST HOW MUCH
YOU LOVE ME AS YOU MET MY NEEDS,
FAITHFULLY ANSWERED MY PRAYERS,.
AND GIVE ME
THE SECRET DESIRES OF MY HEART.
WHO ON EARTH WOULD BE SO GRACIOUS?
WHEN I AWAKE IN THE MORNING,
YOURS IS THE PRECIOUS FACE THAT I SEEK.
AND WHEN I GO TO BED AT NIGHT,
IT IS YOUR SWEET VOICE
THAT LULLS ME TO SLEEP.
YOUR PRESENCE GUIDES ME
DOING THE DAY
AND GUARDS ME THROUGH THE NIGHT,
KEEPING ME AND PERFECT PEACE.
YOU DO NOT SLEEP,
BUT INSTEAD ARE PREPARING
BLESSINGS FOR ME AS I DO.
WHENEVER I NEED TO TALK,
YOU'RE ALWAYS READY TO LISTEN.
YOU HAVE ALREADY PLANTED
MY FUTURE AND PREPARED
THE STEPS FOR MY SUCCESS,
SO I PLACED MY HAND
IN YOURS AND FOLLOW YOU.
FATHER, IF I HAD THE ABILITY AND STRENGTH
TO STAND IN NAME EACH OF MY BLESSINGS,
I BELIEVE I WOULD BE
STANDING THROUGHOUT ETERNITY.
BUT, SHOULD I BECOME PRESUMPTUOUS,
PLEASE
FORGIVE ME
AND HELP ME TO ALWAYS SAY.
"THANK YOU, LORD!"
AMEN.
