To give thanks because, how can I not?Īnd as Lucado suggests: Alphabetize your blessings instead of cataloging your burdens. In a world where it’s easy to say ‘more!’, where there’s always something bigger, better, faster, stronger, where we have a small taste of eternity and misplace our longing into basically everything else, here is my attempt to choose gratitude. He ponders- if Adam and Eve had chosen gratitude instead of discontent, how different would our world look today? Lucado reminds us that Scripture commands us over a hundred times to give thanks. God has never left me, and his faithfulness is unchanging. God has never left me, though I didn’t always feel him. God has never left me, though I gave him every reason. The second- written after a long and continuous time of growth, waiting, trusting, hoping, and learning how to pray again. The first- written in an emotionally and spiritually dark time of my life when prayer was the last thing I wanted to do. I find it fitting that these posts should be side by side.
What I have written today is from Max Lucado’s book on prayer.
My last blog post was inspired by an excerpt from Tim Keller’s book on prayer. I wish I had more time and inspiration to blog more often than biennially but here goes. I felt energized by something I read the other day and decided I needed to write about it. Well, it’s been over two years since my last blog post.
