Hey friends, upon waking up in the morning, what are you thinking?Do you think of problems? money? lovelife? work? food? family? What makes you think of it? Why not try to think this: Thank God for another day and the rest will be fine. I always thank God upon waking up, that way i'll appreciate Him and the another day he is given to me. What about you? Can you share your thoughts.

I always pray before sleeping but I will tell you honestly that I don't get to hear mass every Sunday anymore! Sad but true! But I always take advantage every time I pray I thank Him for everything that He has given me and not only to me but also to my family and friends. I say sorry for the errors that I did for the day and try to lessen those so I won't disappoint Him. Praying is the easiest way to communicate to God in this, we don't feel all alone at all.

Yes, I think I do. Everyday I thank God numerous times for nearly everything, when I get up, when I go to bed, when I have meals, Whatever I do, I pray for His blessing and help, and thank Him for His help and love and ask for more strength to follow Him.

erm.. i seldom thank god for another day.. but i do thank god for giving me my meals.. and giving me everything that i have today.. i think god treated me well.. atleast i don't have to suffer as refugees of wars.. i can feel the pain of being the victim of war.. they have no food.. not even a proper place to stay.. and crimes are everywhere.. they just don't get peace.. i think they are praying everyday that god will help them.. or maybe.. they don't believe the power of god anymore.. they know it best... and i know .. life is really short.. so.. do appreciate every moments god given to you =)

Hi Cheenlly, well upon waking up the last couple of morning I think about if I am going to not be sick again today as I have been sick the last couple of days but I think to our Lord, and know that he will make me better again very soon.

I give thanks to God not only after waking up in the morning but also before going to sleep. I thanked Him for helping and guiding me to endure another day of my life. For always being there whenever I need Him, in resolving my problem, and provision of all my needs. In the morning, I thanked Him for allowing me to have life for another day and for a peaceful rest that He had given me. We should always give thanks to Him all throughout our life.

Actually, I thank God both at the beginning of the day and also at the end of the day. I thank Him at the beginning for blessing me with life and the chance to live another day. At the end of the day, I thank Him for getting me through any difficulties I went through, and getting me through life in general.

We are admonished by bible preachings of Paul in 1 Thessalonians 1: 2-5 that we should give thanks to God ALWAYS...
How often are we to give thanks to God? For many believers, giving thanks to God is a once a week, Sunday morning activity. But Paul says we are to give God thanks "always. " Our thanksgiving is not to be sporadic. It cannot be "on" and "off." It is to be a constant appreciation expressed to God.
It is only through communicating with God that we can express our sincerest appreciation and thanks of His kindness, love and care, of His protection amidst the trials we face and the happiness we share with others. Thanking Him as we sleep and be able to wake up the following day is a way of acknowledging Him and giving glory to Him for He has given us one more day to live for Him.

i am at this point in my life that every single morning i wake up feeling sad and mad,,i even hit my bed when i open my eyes!!!
Im really tired from the kind of life i have at the moment.
I would like to scream "im sorry" to GOD about this.
Its like i have this feeling of been lost,empty and unsatisfied.
At least i havent lost hope yet,,because of people like you,that gives me a second of relife in my life.

I do thank him, every night when I pray I thank him for everything I have and how wonderful he is to me and my mother is getting older so I also thank him for every new day that I have her here with me. In the mornings I thank him for allowing me to see another day.

It is a very beautiful thought. I can say you have a good and strong faith and if you have a family, they must be a happy family. Talking and thinking of God and thanking him makes oneself happy. May God bless your family and everyone to have happy home with beautiful children, mother and father
