When you pray, you should pray with a thankful heart. When you pray, you should pray for a thankful heart. When you are tested by the trials of life, a thankful heart builds in you a persevering heart and a heart always in renewal through Christ's love. In your state of renewal, you instinctively give thanks. In this world when you are caught up in the problems of the day, keep Christ in your presence by giving thanks. In this world when so much seems to come unraveled, although you may often be weak, you can be strong in your thankfulness and love for Christ. Although you may be weak, you can be steadfast in His sight by being thankful.
