Jesus said to the crowds, "Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened. For everyone who searches, finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? Or, if the child asks for fish, will you give a snake? If you then who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:7-12

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

 

I thank God for answered prayer:

for freedom from paralyzing fear
for strength in adversity
for comfort in sorrow
for a healthy family
for a marriage saved
for hope in the face of despair
for forgiveness
for safe travel
for resolution of personal problems
for grace to forget
for successful job searches
for healing of mind, body, spirit
for daily bread
for reconciliation among dear ones
for courage in crises
for the ability to serve you
for countless blessings received daily.

Count your blessings today.
