Thankful Heart


 I woke up today tired, not feeling good and a bit crabby. I felt like staying in bed but that is boring so I got up, washed the dishes, took some Amazon things back, and started reading my book “When prayer is a Struggle.” I had a lot to pray about this morning and I started by telling the Lord how I was feeling and that I didn’t feel like praying, but I kept going, still in a bad mood. I felt like I was not pleasing God with my prayer. 

The author of the book I’m reading, Kevin Hollaran, stares “A heart that lacks gratitude will not experience the peace of God. 

I was thinking that I need to have a thankful heart to pray; not one who begrudgingly prays. He further states that we are to be thankful even in the most frustrating of circumstances. It is very potent in challenging times.  

I will be thankful now when I pray, telling the Lord what I am thankful for.
