It's me again God,

I am excited to begin my time with You knowing that despite the fact that thousands, perhaps millions of other people are speaking with You right now, You hear me and You are delighted to spend this time with me! You are such an amazing God! You don't need to put me on hold because You are too busy and I can come to You at anytime of the day or night. In fact, You want me to 'make my life a prayer'!

"Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God's perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus."
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:16-18‬ ‭TPT‬‬

It's like You don't want me to hang up but keep the conversation going! I am so happy that I can do this but I am probably better at asking for help than giving thanks! You give me every good thing and today I am determined to give thanks in the midst of everything, not waiting for resolutions to problems before I do. This is Your perfect plan for me. You sent Your Son Jesus so I could have this special relationship with You. His death and resurrection, make our conversation possible!

"Sing out with songs of thanksgiving to the Lord! Let's sing our praises with melodies overflowing!"
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147:7‬ ‭TPT‬‬

You have equipped me to sing and today as I prepare meals and go about my work, I will use my voice to give thanks in song!

"Now I'll worship you passionately and bring to you my sacrifice of praise, drenched with thanksgiving!"
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭116:17‬ ‭TPT‬‬

These songs of praise will be filled with passion from a thankful heart. You have showered me with blessing upon blessing in this past year. I look forward to being in Your presence and bringing my thank offering to You!

"You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bless his beautiful name!"
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I love how this version of the verse talks about praise being a password! Your gates are always open and somehow, coming to You in an attitude of praise is a great way to quickly come into Your presence! You know our needs but You love us to come and ask You. Thank You that when I come to You I know You are the God who provides —You are Jehovah Jireh. I can have every confidence that out of Your fullness, You will give!

"And now out of his fullness we are fulfilled! And from him we receive grace heaped upon more grace!"
‭‭John‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I am fulfilled whenever You provide for me because You are not satisfied to just give me salvation in Jesus. Thank You that Your grace, Your unmerited favour is continuous! Today I humbly and thankfully receive Your grace, heaped upon more grace! I am loved —I am Yours —I am thankful!

In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
