Today, I realized I have a lot to thank God. I thank God everyday as I wake up, for giving me another day to experience. I thank God for the chirping birds that I am hearing in the early morning ,as I am praying. I thank God for my whole family , relatives, friends and in-laws. I thank God that I may have problems, but He doesn’t let me be in despair. I have a lot of things to thank God for. That make me realize , God do love me so. What about you guys?

Nice to know that too. When we pray, we sometimes tend to make lots of requests. But,i think it would also be nice if we give thanks to God for the good things He has been giving us.

you are right. People seem to remember God when they need. One thanks God for health and goes out and get what one needs. That is what i do.

This is very true that we thank God for everything that we have and become. I above all thank the true living God for revealing himself unto us that we know we are great sinners in order to see him we need a saviour. He send his only begotten son to shed his only precius blood to cleanse us from all sins that we may found grace before HIM.

It is those little things that make our world. I too am forever in the attitude of gratitude. The ability to appreciate those little things is the secret of happiness. I am happy for you that you are able to relish those little things that happen to you.

Yes, it is very true that we should always be grateful to God for His blessings and whatever we experience and enjoy in our day to day life is because of Him. Had he not been there, you and me would not have been talking.

That's very true. We owe God everything that we have in life including our life. Hence it is imperative that we should always thank him when we are praying. And yes that's right, without HIM , we will not be here at myLot discussing this.

Hi. SIMPLYD. I thank God for the little things too. Mostly for waking me up this morning. It is a great pleasure to be able to be alive and see another beautiful day that God has allowed us to see. God is very merciful and he loves us so much, that is why we have so much to be thankful for. I thank God for everyone in this world, including you!

Yes, there are so many things to be thankful for today. And God has given them all to us. I, too, thank Him for the simplest things that make me happy. Even those that make me sad and teach me a lesson. He is such a great God, and though our thanks is not sufficient compared to what He gave us, we thank Him, nonetheless!

Some of us takes for granted the little things God gives us. They forget to thank God for it. Only would they give thanks when a problem is solved.

Yeah, they only they only reach to God whenever they have problems. Like when youre going on a board exam. All of the things the student will use gets to be blessed or prayed. After that, they have their own jobs after passing the exam. And they forgotten all about God. How shameful. Also,we should thank God for our dear parents cuz without them we're not here in this world.

Yes, we should always be grateful to God. Even amidst our problems, let's still be grateful to HIM. He doesn't give us problems that we cannot handle, just always call on HIM. He will never us let be in despair, because HE is always ready to help.

We should not only be grateful for the big things in our lives. the little things are also moments to treasure and be grateful for. bigger is not always better or does it make us any happier in the end.

Those little things when summed up , could make a big one for all the things we should be grateful to God. Whenever we give thanks to God, we feel a lighter feeling within ourselves. Don't you think so too?

Same feeling here Dina We have a say, there may be delay in your prayer heard and your wishes fulfilled, but be sure he will deny. As soon as i get i see my palm first, not even my wife lying beside me, we believe goddess Laxmi, goddess of wealth resides there, i am looking at her and praying. Second reason is, suppose there is some thing wrong, i can never tell, it happened, because i saw face of xxx after getting up What about some who pray, only when in problem? Thank you for sharing Enjoy life to fullest. Professor ‘*^Bhuwan^*’. .

We really have to thank Him everyday. Being alive everyday is a single great reason why we should take Him. Not only that, God always see to it that we are living in comfort, despite of the trials that we face everyday. With his comfort, we are able to overcome this trials. So we should thank Him everyday, every hour or even every minutes. And as a side note, While we are thanking Him, we actually draw closer to Him.

Very true, we should always be thankful to God. The fact that we wake up every morning, and see that we are still alive, is one great thing to be thankful for. Yes, i thank God for everything. There were even times that if ever i see a beautiful sight, i would thank HIM profusely for it. I feel so happy when i am able to thank him always.

In another discussion that I answered earlier regarding happiness, I mentioned simple things around us that make us smile. The things you mentioned are the ones I was referring to. =) Yes, there are definitely a lot of things that God gives us that we should be grateful for, big and small. Have a nice day! God bless. =)

A saying goes - 'Everyone turns to god only when they're in despair. But none thanks him when they're happy. But for the one who prays to God even when he's happy, there's no despair in his life!' - How true this is! Feels good when you say that you thank God daily. Keep it up!

A few years ago I heard a saying which has stayed with me. "If you are worried then pray.....if you have prayed don't worry, he will show you the way. I find this statement to be so true.

Yes, do not worry if ever that day comes. We know that we have God with us always.

It is really essential to be always grateful even for every little things, good or bad. By this virtue, God will not only shower you with blessings but he will keep it overflowing. So even in your darkest days, be grateful, for you're not walking alone. Instead, God is carrying you in his loving arms, seeing you through

It is always imperative to credit God for all of the blessings that He had bestowed upon us. The gift of life, friends and family are but few of the factors that I considered important and I had God to thank for. And we are one when it comes to dealing with our respective issues and problems. I agree that without God's unfailing support, we would not have gotten through them unscathed. Be blessed always. Happy mylotting!

As i ride those jeepney to and from the office, i get to see a lot of things which all of us should be thankful of. I thank God silently for the good things i see and feel everyday. It feels good to always acknowledge God for all his blessings small and big alike.
