Today I wanna pray about Gratitude. 00:00:31.76\00:00:34.80 Ephesians 5:20 says, 00:00:34.83\00:00:37.03 "Giving thanks always 00:00:37.07\00:00:38.43 for all things to God the Father, 00:00:38.47\00:00:40.67 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." 00:00:40.70\00:00:43.10 This verse reminds me to be thankful 00:00:43.14\00:00:45.31 for all things all the time. 00:00:45.34\00:00:47.98 Jesus gave His life 00:00:48.01\00:00:49.34 so we can go to heaven and be with Him. 00:00:49.38\00:00:51.75 When I think about the love of Jesus, 00:00:51.78\00:00:53.92 and how much He cares for me, 00:00:53.95\00:00:55.58 it makes me wanna thank Him over and over again. 00:00:55.62\00:00:58.75 Without Jesus, we would have nothing. 00:00:58.79\00:01:02.59 The very act of giving thanks 00:01:02.62\00:01:04.19 and being grateful to Jesus for things, 00:01:04.23\00:01:06.73 for all the good things He is giving me, 00:01:06.76\00:01:09.16 makes me a happier person. 00:01:09.20\00:01:11.33 I'm even thankful for things that are difficult 00:01:11.37\00:01:14.27 to be thankful for things like when I'm sick. 00:01:14.30\00:01:16.74 Remember, the verse tells us that we should be thankful 00:01:16.77\00:01:18.71 for all things. 00:01:18.74\00:01:20.38 Many times the difficulties of life bring us closer to God. 00:01:20.41\00:01:24.21 This is why being thankful in all things 00:01:24.25\00:01:26.08 is a good thing to do. 00:01:26.11\00:01:27.72 My heart overflows with love and gratitude to Jesus, 00:01:27.75\00:01:31.15 because I know He really loves me. 00:01:31.19\00:01:33.19 We're so blessed, so grateful to know Him 00:01:33.22\00:01:35.72 as our personal Savior, and to be children of God. 00:01:35.76\00:01:39.16 Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving 00:01:48.94\00:01:54.74 To God the creator triumphantly raise 00:01:54.78\00:02:01.15 Who fashioned and made us Protected and stayed us 00:02:01.18\00:02:07.02 Who guideth us on to the end of our days 00:02:07.06\00:02:13.40 His banners are o'er us His light goes before us 00:02:13.43\00:02:19.03 A pillar of fire shines forth in the night 00:02:19.07\00:02:25.07 Till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished 00:02:25.11\00:02:31.58 As forward we travel 00:02:31.61\00:02:34.65 from light into light 00:02:34.68\00:02:39.52 Dear Jesus, thank You for being my best friend. 00:02:42.02\00:02:46.19 I love You and please help 00:02:46.23\00:02:47.76 everyone to be grateful for what You do. 00:02:47.80\00:02:51.23 Thank You for dying for my sins and everyone in the world. 00:02:51.27\00:02:55.54 Please help us to be thankful for all things. 00:02:55.57\00:03:00.04 Help us to be thankful when we are sick. 00:03:00.08\00:03:03.11 I want to go to heaven. 00:03:03.14\00:03:05.45 And if we will stay close to You, 00:03:05.48\00:03:08.65 we can all go to heaven. 00:03:08.68\00:03:10.95 In Jesus' name I pray. 00:03:10.99\00:03:13.15 Amen. 00:03:13.19\00:03:14.52 Dear Heavenly Father, 00:03:19.59\00:03:21.03 thank You so much for Your awesome love. 00:03:21.06\00:03:23.70 When I think of what was done at Calvary 00:03:23.73\00:03:25.63 and that You willingly let Your Son die for my sins, 00:03:25.67\00:03:28.80 so that I can spend eternity with You. 00:03:28.84\00:03:31.34 My heart cries out in gratitude. 00:03:31.37\00:03:33.84 And I ask that You help me to learn to love like that. 00:03:33.88\00:03:37.61 Father, we have so much to be thankful for our lives, 00:03:37.65\00:03:42.28 our health, our strength, but most of all for Your love. 00:03:42.32\00:03:46.49 Help us to remember each day what has been done for us. 00:03:46.52\00:03:50.59 I am so thankful that You never give up on us. 00:03:50.63\00:03:53.66 But when we fall that You pick us up 00:03:53.70\00:03:55.66 and continue that walk with us 00:03:55.70\00:03:57.67 that will take us into eternity with You. 00:03:57.70\00:04:00.44 Oh, Father, help us to always remember 00:04:00.47\00:04:03.34 what was done for us 00:04:03.37\00:04:04.71 with gratitude and a heart of love. 00:04:04.74\00:04:07.14 I ask in Jesus' name and I thank You, Father, 00:04:07.18\00:04:09.94 for hearing and answering our prayers. 00:04:09.98\00:04:12.38 Amen. 00:04:12.41\00:04:13.75 Dear Heavenly Father, 00:04:18.19\00:04:19.52 I come to You with a spirit of gratitude. 00:04:19.55\00:04:22.22 I'm thankful for the gifts You have given me 00:04:22.26\00:04:24.13 throughout my life. 00:04:24.16\00:04:25.69 Helped me to take and share those gifts 00:04:25.73\00:04:27.43 with others so they can see You through me. 00:04:27.46\00:04:30.53 Thank You for the greatest gift, 00:04:30.57\00:04:32.17 the gift of Your Son. 00:04:32.20\00:04:33.54 In

mountains 00:04:53.99\00:04:57.03 The rivers and fountains 00:04:57.06\00:05:00.13 The deeps of the ocean proclaim Him divine 00:05:00.16\00:05:06.87 We too should be voicing our love 00:05:06.90\00:05:11.21 And rejoicing with glad adoration 00:05:11.24\00:05:16.48 A song let us raise 00:05:16.51\00:05:20.35 Till all things now living 00:05:20.38\00:05:23.69 Unite in thanksgiving 00:05:23.72\00:05:27.42 To God in the highest 00:05:27.46\00:05:31.19 Hosanna and praise! 00:05:31.23\00:05:37.60 God, right now, I'm praying for gratitude. 00:05:40.20\00:05:45.01 So I guess it only makes sense to start out with Thank You. 00:05:45.04\00:05:50.61 Thank You that how You love us. 00:05:50.65\00:05:55.08 We don't deserve that. 00:05:55.12\00:05:56.99 We don't deserve what You gave us. 00:05:57.02\00:06:00.49 But you did. 00:06:00.52\00:06:03.02 God, I ask that You show us in our everyday lives, 00:06:03.06\00:06:08.36 every single minute, God every situation 00:06:08.40\00:06:11.90 we find ourselves in, You show us gratitude. 00:06:11.93\00:06:17.31 Give us a spirit of gratitude. 00:06:17.34\00:06:20.51 Let us see the world... 00:06:20.54\00:06:23.58

cruel. 00:06:32.99\00:06:36.52 But we have so much to look forward to. 00:06:36.56\00:06:41.16 So, God, in this time, in our lives on earth, 00:06:41.20\00:06:47.14 give us gratitude in the present

Amen. 00:07:34.05\00:07:35.38 Heavenly Father, as we take this time to pray 00:07:40.59\00:07:43.32 about gratitude, I'm reminded of Psalm 103, 00:07:43.36\00:07:46.80 "Bless the Lord, oh my soul and all that is within me, 00:07:46.83\00:07:49.76 bless His holy name. 00:07:49.80\00:07:51.53 Bless the Lord, oh my soul 00:07:51.57\00:07:53.30 and forget not all His benefits." 00:07:53.34\00:07:56.97 Dear Lord, forgive us for forgetting, 00:07:57.01\00:07:59.44 forgetting to thank You for the things 00:07:59.47\00:08:01.58 that we take for granted. 00:08:01.61\00:08:03.24 Help us to cultivate 00:08:03.28\00:08:04.61 an attitude of gratitude in our lives, 00:08:04.65\00:08:06.98 remembering you 00:08:07.02\00:08:08.35 are the source of all our blessings. 00:08:08.38\00:08:11.02 We thank You again and we ask it all in Jesus' heavenly name. 00:08:11.05\00:08:14.62 Amen. 00:08:14.66\00:08:15.99 Father, God, the one who sees and hears all, 00:08:22.96\00:08:26.80 I come before You now in gratitude 00:08:26.84\00:08:29.64 for being a personal God. 00:08:29.67\00:08:32.07 You have answered so many of my prayers, 00:08:32.11\00:08:34.78 when some of them have just... 00:08:34.81\00:08:36.75 been only unspoken thoughts. 00:08:36.78\00:08:39.85 Thank You for hearing my cry for forgiveness. 00:08:39.88\00:08:43.59 You promised to create in me a clean heart

00:09:54.66\00:09:57.33 but in every situation by prayer and petition. 00:09:57.36\00:10:00.13 with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 00:10:00.16\00:10:03.87 And the peace of God 00:10:03.90\00:10:05.23 which transcends all understanding 00:10:05.27\00:10:07.37 will guard your hearts and your minds 00:10:07.40\00:10:09.24 in Christ Jesus." 00:10:09.27\00:10:13.27 1 Corinthians

00:10:44.14\00:10:49.68 we see how small our need really is, 00:10:49.71\00:10:54.42 and how great You are. 00:10:54.45\00:10:58.35 Even in the thankfulness and gratitude 00:10:58.39\00:11:00.96 that we have toward... 00:11:00.99\00:11:03.36 our fellow men. 00:11:03.39\00:11:07.90 Lord, this is something that You will help me 00:11:07.93\00:11:12.00 I pray to grow in, 00:11:12.03\00:11:14.04 to be
