Things you don't have to pray about.

A few days ago I was thinking about prayer and it dawned in me that there are things that I don't have to pray about. Consider the following. I don't have to ask God to:
  • love me.
    He unconditionally loved me before I was born.
  • be with me.
    He never leaves me and He is always there listening.
  • work all things together for my good.
    He is always making lemonade out of my lemons.
  • intercede for me.
    He ever lives to make intercession for me.
  • invite me to pray.
    He has already welcomed me to come boldly to Him.
In light of these, and His many other blessings, I think that it is always appropriate to pray a prayer of thanksgiving. I will let you come up with the words.

Amen

    Yes, gratitude and thanksgiving...should be the beginning of each prayer we pray.
