Emails to God – Remembering to Thank God (Philippians 1:3)

10 Sep

3 I thank my God every time I remember you.

Dear God, my life is so beholden to different people. From my wife, to my family of origin, to donors, to volunteer, to staff, to my children, etc. My life is blessed many, many times over. But do I remember to thank you every time I remember these people? Do I remember to thank you whenever I think about the blessings you provide to me? Do I remember to give you the glory you deserve when I talk about the blessings in my life?

Father, there is so much for which I can be thankful. I have a patient wife who loves me richly. I have one or two good friends who speak your words to me. I have parents who bless me with love. I have a job where you have raised up people to work alongside us to do your will. Help me to be ever mindful of the grace you show me through all of these people. Help me to remember that you are the one from whom all blessings flow. And help me to remember to thank you for all of this because you are worthy of thanks and praise.
