I live a life of prayer and thankfulness every chance I get. Being thankful is that side of me that wants to reach out and advertise all the wondrous blessings I have received. When I think of the countless big and small things that grace my day, I just want to exclaim, “thank you!”

The warm hug that I received from a friend, the generous bonus I was given at work, the new home that I was able to purchase, and warm days at the beach are just some of the precious moments that I am thankful for. I make it a habit to keep gratitude on my lips and praise in my heart. It’s these irreplaceable and invaluable experiences that make my life what it is.

I am even more grateful for the gift of prayer. It is my communication line with the Almighty, and without it, I would be lost. Prayer is available to me for giving honor, saying thanks, for talking about the circumstances that are happening in my life, to ask for assistance, to express my heart’s desire, and also to just be heard. How awesome it is to have such an amazing gift – just for me!

Living a life of prayer and thankfulness trains me to become a greater human being. For every wrong, misconception, or mistake that’s made in the world, I can counter it with a pleasing remembrance. By living a life of prayer and thankfulness, I am led to boundless happiness. It’s only through spiritual well being that I can achieve the most out of my life and find true joy, never-ending peace, and infinite blessings.
