The following was given to me. I think you’ll empathize with the expressed acknowledgement of and faith in our Father.

Dear God,

Thank you for waking me up this day, a day I will never see again. Let me be an example to others and be pleasing in your eyes.

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 thank you right now. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears. I thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves. I am going to say thank you right now.  I am not going to wait until I get a raise or promotion on my job or until I get a job. I thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience of weakness in my life that has caused me pain or grief. God, I thank you right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges removed. I thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until my children and my spouse are asleep, and the house is quiet. I thank you right now.

I am thanking you right now for who you are in my life; for me being alive; and for giving me a second chance to get my life right with you.

God I give you all the power, honor, glory, and praise in Jesus’ name.

I thank you right now … Amen!
