Dear God

I want to thank YOU for what YOU have already done.

I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed,
I am thanking YOU right now.

I am thanking YOU because I am live.

I am thanking YOU because I made it through the day's difficulties.

I am thanking YOU because I have walked around the obstacles.

I am thanking YOU because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

I am thanking YOU because YOU have not given up on me.

Thank YOU, Lord.
