There are times when we simply don’t feel like praying–and that is when we need to pray the most.

From Psalm 32:6-7:  “Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to you; at a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not reach them.  You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.”

Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.

From 1 John 5:16-17:  “If we say that we have fellowship with Him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true.”

Benjamin Franklin Quotes

Who is wise?  He that learns from everyone.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Much of Franklin’s wisdom was shared in his published pamphlet, “Poor Richard’s Almanack,” which appeared continually from 1732 to 1758. He adopted the pseudonym of “Poor Richard” or “Richard Saunders” as the publisher and author.

This coming week, take time to remember what the Lord has done for you, and express your thanks.  Be creative and try different ways to show gratefulness–sing, praise, and joyfully worship Him.

From Psalm 92:1-2:  “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night.”

No greater compliment can be given than this one:  “When I am with that person, it’s like I’m in the presence of Jesus Himself.”

From 2 Corinthians 8:21:  “For we intend to do what is right not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of others.”

English author, Charles Dickens

Reflect upon your present blessings–of which every many has many–not on past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

 

German-born poet and theologian, Johannes A. Gaertner

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.

 

American poet and humorist, Wilbur D. Nesbit

Forever on Thanksgiving Day, the heart will find the pathway home.
