Good morning! Today, I feel thankful for so many things. I am thankful that Jesus loves me and that He wants to share His kingdom with me. I am thankful for everything God has given me. One way I show my thanks is through prayer. In Psalm 145, David praises and exalts the name of the LORD. He tells God that future generations will know of His works and the power of His Name. "Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations" (vs. 13).
Prayer isn't just about asking for forgiveness of our sins, or the healing of a friend. Of course it is a way we can lift up our problems and concerns, but it is also a way to give thanks and praise for the wonderful things He has done for us now and in the future. Today, I praise the Lord for the mind He has given me, along with the talents and gifts He will provide for me to use in the classroom. "My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever" (vs. 21). Amen and amen!
Excellent understanding of these passages.
