Have you ever been in a situation where words fail to express how grateful you are to God for who He is in your life? You search for words and you are completely blank, you don’t even know where to start??I know at times you might go through so much in life and forget to thank God for every detail in your life but a heart of gratitude, changes your perception even when things don’t make sense. You always have something to thank God for everyday and this shifts your focus from yourself to God.
I try my best to be authentic with my readers and in my walk with God, I have had those moments where I used to pray asking God to do this and that until one day, He asked me, Beaty haven’t I done anything in your life to thank me? Haven’t i been good to you?? Is there nothing you can thank me for??That night for me was my turning point, when I realized, it’s not all about asking God to bless me, to open doors or to do this or that but being grateful to Him even when nothing makes sense in my life. My prayer life changed, I have learn’t to thank God for absolutely everything,from open doors to closed doors,for who He is in my life,for what He has done , what He is doing and what He will do.
Without any shadow of doubt ,i know for sure God has brought most of you through some mighty big stuff,He has preserved you,He has embraced you with His love ,He has provided for you and above all, He has done countless things small or big in your life that you can hardly take count of.Make it your priority to thank Him for everything whether things are working out in your life or not!!! He is God all by Himself.On this post I’ll share scriptures you can meditate on, memorize them and while in your prayer closet , speak them out on a daily basis to thank God. You will be so surprised how your mind and attitude will change and before you know it, you will have no room for negativity,
Take this from me, the enemy cannot stand a heart that honors God and is full of gratitude, he is always looking for a vulnerable heart, a heart that is complaining about everything, a heart that is bitter, a heart fueled by jealousy, in short a heart that is full of negativity.

Thank you note:
Almighty God, thank you for you are the author and finisher of my faith. Thank you for what you have done; what you are doing and I thank you in advance for what you ought to do through me in this plat form. I thank you for lives which are being convicted and transformed on a daily basis .Am eternally grateful, that it’s your agenda which shall prevail as I continue doing what you have assigned me to do passionately and in obedience to your word. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen
