In the days to come, Lord, help me to learn the true meaning of gratitude.
Remind me to be grateful not only for the "good things" in my life, but for the challenges and disappointments as well... for great lessons lie within them for hearts open to learn from You. And just as Your faithfulness despite suffering allowed You to return to the Father, so will mine, if I only remain faithful to You.
So Lord, I ask just one thing of you today: the ability to discern and follow You in all the places I go and all of the situations I face, today and always.
Amen
Wonderful prayer! It's easy to be grateful for the blessings, but much harder to show appreciation for our sufferings and trials. Thanks for this reminder that those hard times are also gifts from God that will help us to grow closer to Him.
