Stop and Thank Our God

Dearest God,

I want to thank You for what you have already done.

I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until I feel better or the pain goes away; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until I hear the words 'I'm sorry' or people change their ways; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now.

I am thanking you because I am alive.

I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties.

I am thanking you because I have overcome the obstacles.

I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.  


I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.
