**Have you ever noticed how easy it is to come into God’s presence with a list of everything you need?**
“Lord, I have this problem.”
“Lord, I need You to help me with this.”
“Lord, I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
God certainly wants us to bring our needs to Him. **He cares about everything we’re facing.**
But sometimes we need to stop talking about what we need and start thanking Him for what He has already done.
The Bible says, **“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.”** — Psalm 100:4
Before you tell God what you need today, **stop for a moment and thank Him for what He has already done.**
Thank Him for His faithfulness.
Thank Him for His mercy.
Thank Him for another day.
Thank Him for never leaving you.
And then ask yourself: **“What is one thing God has done for me that I can thank Him for right now?”**
Start there.
**You may still have problems when you finish praying, but you’ll walk away remembering that you serve a God who has never failed you—and He isn’t going to start now!** 🙏❤️
