Thanksgiving.. so powerful subject that can be said in on post, that’s why I have to keep talking about it. A couple days ago I heard about Jonah a man that disobeyed the Lord ((As we do constantly)), and got his punishment; but We’ve got to say something the man knew how to pray and to praise the Lord, just read here on Jonah 2: 6-9:
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, LORD my God,
brought my life up from the pit.“When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, LORD,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.“Those who cling to worthless idols
turn away from God’s love for them.
But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the LORD.’”
And well you already know the rest of the story, just there the fish vomited Jonah. But let’s study his prayer, if we read since the beginning of his prayer :
“In my distress I called to the LORD,
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
and you listened to my cry. Jonah 2:2
You do realize that the man was still inside the fish? But he was praying as if he was already out!!! When you pray do not pray in defeat mode… Pray in thanks mode.. Thanks the Lord for what you already HAVE!!
Jonah proved to be a wise man after all, in the mids of his situation inside of a big fish he was thanking the Lord, be cause HE had replied to his call! Ohhh Glory to the Lord!
And so Paul remarks it to us again in Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Ohh Just Thank the Lord in every moment!! Gloryy to your name Jesus!
Words of Blessing!
