Praise Jesus, and Be thankful for all of our trials and tribulations!

A strange thought, to be thankful for all trials and tribulations?  Not necessarily so.  If we pass through the hard times, and make it to the normal or even great times, then we need to be grateful for the experiences.  God has a plan for us.  Although He doesn't always reveal it to us in a way we can see, decipher, or even understand, He does give it to us.  We need to be forever faithful, and move forward.  No matter how hard or how dark things seem.  God always has our backs.  Money comes from unknown sources, work comes from unlikely resources, and our lives always work out the way God has envisioned for us..... even if we don't see it.  God's plan is a glorious one.  One in which we may not see, but it is always there, just waiting for us to walk toward it.  God knows what we will do prior to us even thinking about doing something.  This is why God is omnipotent.  He is ALL KNOWING and ALL SEEING.  He is there for us even when we are the dumbest, and stupidest beings on the face of the earth.

God loves us no matter how we rebel, how we fight His divine intervention, or how we walk away from His righteous path.  He is the ultimate Father, who forgives us almost before we do something which needs forgiveness.  He continues to be there for us, no matter how we fight Him.  He knows it is just a stubborn phase, and that we will be back to Him as soon as we pass through the stupidity we are going through.  He is the BEST father in the world.  He is our ONLY leader, and creator.  He alone knows what we will do in the life He has created for us, and He has a greater plan.  He will bring us toward the light no matter how hard we fight Him, or how fast we run away in the opposite direction.  He is the all forgiving, all loving, and all knowing Father.  We need to remember how wonderful He is for us and to us.  We need to be thankful for the privilege of life, and for the ability to carry on when perhaps we don't really deserve to.

We love you dear Father, and we thank you for all you do, despite our transgressions, disloyalty, and our failure to follow your righteous path.  You are glorious and wonderful.  Thank you for forgiving us, and continuing to create our magnificent world and life.

In the name of your son and our savior, Jesus Christ, I pray and give thanks to you.

Amen
