Most people nowadays are so consumed with all the needs and wants in their lives.We just remember our Almighty God whenever we are in trouble or whenever we want something.With the fast-paced time,do you still spend a little time to thank God for all the blessings you received everyday?

Yes! In fact I have the God gift that He always reminds me of His Greatness. Whatever happens to me I always remember of God, either good or bad. I always thank Him for the kindness He has showered over me and indeed made me a lucky one. When I compare my life with others I find myself in a safe-sailing boat.

Good day to you Munach,
With reference to your question, this is the thing that I never forgot, to thank God for all the blessings that He provides for me. I see to it that I thank God everyday by uttering a prayer every morning the moment I wake-up and in the evening before I go to bed to sleep. Even in the middle of the day, I always acknowledge His presence on my life. For without God, my life is not as good as it would be today. Only in Him, I get my strength. Even the smallest things I earn and get, I always thank God because all that we have comes from Him.
I hope you do thank God everyday. He is not requiring a lot of our time, what He want from us, is to acknowledge Him at in everything that we've got. He is not only our God, He is also our brother.

I and my family have a nightly family prayer and we first thank God for all he has done for us that day, or week and the good things we have. I also pray with my husband and also alone prayer is a habit I utilize daily and all thruogh the day.

Yes. Its good to thank God for everything. Even the things that you think are bad, because they might just lead to something good. Sometimes bad things have to happen, to lead you to where you are suppose to be. Like for instance me. If I hadn't have had all those bad experiences in my life, met those cheating girls, made my bad choices, went here at this time, did this at that time, I wouldn't be here today married to my wife who is the greatest person I've ever known. So even though those events made me sad and angry, I'm glad they happened to lead me here to her.

We should be thankful always to God who gives us everything. From the moment we wake up, we should already give thanks because He has given us another life to live, some people don't wake up in their sleep, so the very breath you have, give thanks to God.
We should always be thankful to God no matter the circumstance may be. As it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, In everything give thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

you know what? i came across an adage that says something like "if gratitude is the only prayer you know then it will suffice", i believe in this so much that i need not wait for bedtime to come or be in my sunday dress and attned mass because i can say it anytime and everytime i want. Funny thing is i think im kinda contagious cuz whenever i burp i say "Thank You Lord" cuz it reminds me how stuffed i was with the food i ate and my husband adopted it cuz he used to say "excuse me". For one whole day everyday i always make it a point that i thank Him, simply for being alive, for being able to see, for having a complete healthy happy family and the list goes on eternally, and im thanking Him right now for giving me good fingers to type away my answer =). Godbless!

due to busy schedule people forgot to thank god for whatever they have, life become so busy now a days and most people only remember god if they have problem and some of them blame god for that but if they received a lot of blessings they dont even bother to remember god for that. i do that sometimes and we cant blame other people as they are pre-occupied with so many things.

Yes, I do spend time to thank GOD for the Blessings I receive.
But sometimes, it can become, like, too common for us to say it. And then we could loose touch on what we are saying to GOD.
This is a good lesson, for all of us.
We should try and thank GOD for all His Blessings.
We should not only thank Him with Words only. But we should thank Him from all of our Heart! We should mean what we say, and not just saying it to impress GOD or something.

I agree, to an certain extent, we, only seem to call on God, when we have a problem, so, why, not, at other times then? Its human nature, to think in this
way, I guess, I do, try, to thank God, remembering, others in my prayers, every
time, I pray, not, just before I go to sleep, although, there is nothing wrong in
getting into an routine, if, it helps, you to do so.
God, is, always, here, wherever, we are, its up to us, to call upon his name, he,
will not, automatically, come to us, he, might provide us with material things, if,
it is right for us to have them, mostly, his here, as, a friend, someone, who, will
never let us down.

Hi munach. I always try to find time to thank God despite my preoccupation with a lot of things. You know there was a time when I just let days go by without me praying in the morning or at night but I noticed that I had more problems then, and the challenges just did not seem to end. However, when I changed my ways and tried to be more diligent with my communications with Him, everything just seemed to fall into place, hence I have always been more thankful eversince.
