Greetings!
I will start my write up this morning with a popular biblical saying which says, “In everything give thanks for this is the will of God for mankind.” Giving thanks or appreciating God for his faithfulness over everything he has done for us. If we should thank God according to the quoted scripture, that means we must thank God for everything either good or bad.
Having said this, there's enough reason for me to thank God for despIte all the goings and the challenges of life and according to the prompt topic, I would share and show my gratitude to God for what he's done for me.
The first thing I would like to thank God for is life. The gift of life is what has kept me alive and for this reason, I would like to give God all the glory for preserving my life and that of my loved one till this day. Some that are of my age or even not to my age are dead, but God in his infinite mercy has preserved me till today. Glory be to his holy name.
Another thing I would like to thank God for is my health. Seriously, God has been so faithful to me concerning my health. He has bestowed unto me sound health. Although, there are times i have slight headaches but even at that, there's a way these headaches disappear without even going to the hospital or taking drugs. So, for sound health, I thank God. I'm not using this to mock others but to glorify the name of the Lord.
Thirdly, I would also thank God for his protection over my going out and coming in. One thing I know about life is that every day is full of evil but even at that, God has been keeping and watching over me and my family members day in and day out. There's a particular colleague of mine who had an accident while coming to work. The accident he had back then almost claimed his life but thank God he survived but with loss of memory for almost six months after which he recovered.
So, since the incident, I have learned that it's not our right to go out and come back home safely, but by the grace of God through his protection. Ever since I have known this, I have always thank God for his protection over my life and that of my loved ones.
However, there's many things to thank God for but these three things have summed up what my gratitude is to God who has been keeping me alive ever since I was born into this world.
In conclusion, thanking God is what we should always do from time to time as cultivating such habits would help us to receive more from God.
