Message:
Don’t forget God when you get what you prayed for.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as we come before You today, we humbly acknowledge the countless blessings You have bestowed upon our lives. We often find ourselves in a state of longing, seeking Your guidance and wisdom in our prayers. We pour out our hearts before You, sharing our desires and needs with the hope that You will answer us in Your perfect timing. Yet, once those prayers are answered, it can be all too easy to shift our focus, to become engrossed in the blessings and forget the Source from which they come.
Lord, help us to remember You in our moments of joy and triumph. Let us never take for granted the miracles and answers we receive. Each blessing is a testament to Your grace and love for us, a reminder that You listen and respond to our cries. Instill in us a heart of gratitude, a spirit willing to acknowledge Your hand at work in our lives. May we always turn back to You, not just in times of need, but also in moments of celebration and growth.
Teach us to cultivate a deep and abiding relationship with You that transcends our circumstances. Remind us that true fulfillment comes from knowing You, not just from receiving what we desire. Help us to share our testimonies, to speak of Your goodness to others, thereby shining a light on Your faithfulness. As we navigate the ups and downs of life, may our hearts remain anchored in our faith, trusting that You are the giver of all good things.
Lord, we recognize that our blessings are not solely for our enjoyment, but also for sharing with others. Help us to be vessels of Your love and generosity, extending kindness and support to those around us. May our actions be a reflection of Your love, drawing others closer to You and igniting a desire in their hearts to seek Your presence.
As we go about our daily lives, let us carry a spirit of remembrance. May we not forget to give You praise and thanksgiving for the answered prayers and the numerous ways You have enriched our lives. Let our hearts be ever grateful, our spirits forever poised to acknowledge Your majesty, even amidst the busyness of our days.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
