Come join Iris’s “Thankful Thursdays” every Thursday to share your praises of what God has done for you in your life.
Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
—Hebrews 13:15
Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for being our Heavenly Father. Not mine, not yours, but everyone. I am humbled that I wasn’t worth being loved, but You seek me as You seek everyone and I thank You Father for loving this unworthy soul.
Lord, I give praise to You for leading us into a new direction in our lives. It’s scary yes, but Lord, it’s a lesson in faith as my husband pursues this new job. I can see the change and the refreshing of hope in his eyes, and I pray that You change me and make me worthy to be the wife he needs because I feel I fail, and when I do fail, I fail hard.
We live in hard times Lord, but I praise You that through it all, You are still faithful and reliable and a reminder that we can’t count on economics, on weather or even on people, but You, You Lord, is a solid foundation that You call and plead to all Your children to build their lives, their hopes and their faith on.
Thank You Lord, for just blessing us with Your love and not giving up on us but instead, keep pursuing each and everyone of us.
This has been a quiet week Lord, but I thank You for removing un-needed distractions from my eyes and calling me to re-look, re-evaluate and re-find You because I need that so much in my life. It’s a reminder that there are times in our lives that we have to go through the garden that we called our lives, and prune that which is not fruitful and encourage that which is fruitful.
John 15:2 He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit in me, and he cuts back every branch that does produce fruit, so that it might produce more fruit.
Lord, I pray that whether our lives bear fruit or not, that through it all, we keep pursuing You and seeking You. Prune in me, what You see and not what I see. Prune and remove what YOU know is not bearing fruit and don’t allow me to judge for myself. Help me Lord bear testament to Your word and to Your Glory.

I am praying right along with you about a job situation. I can’t wait to see the “refreshing hope” in my husband’s eyes. We are in great need of a change. Have a great day…thanks for sharing.

What a precious prayer, Twinkle Mom. I could feel God’s peace just reading it. You are so precious to me. And I do have plenty of M&M’s! Thank you for your sweet comment, dear friend.

@Colored Heart: Lol…it was a fun test but I don’t know how correct it is about me. LOL
Apparently they haven’t tried my meatloaf lately…that would plummet the score by 60 points. LOL

Blessings TwinkleMom…This was the most wonderful prayer and thankful heart! How open your heart is to Our Lord and His pruning. May we all produce more of His fruit of the Holy Spirit in our words and in our actions sincerely as we abide in Him and He in us!
Beautiful verses and thank you for the honest reminder to our souls. I pray all works out with this new job and direction with God’s favor, abundance and much GRACE!
