Lord I'm thankful for the dicernment to tap into that value an stop focusing on what hasn't happened and start focusing on what you can do. Even if the whole world seems like it's against me, there is something of value that you have to contribute.

Lord I'm thankful because of you

I can forget about trying to figure out what is fair or unfair. Let go of my need to make judgments about what life has handed me.

Lord I'm so thankful, Instead, I reach within and touch that part of me that resonates with beauty, with peace, with truth and with joy. Then look outward with eyes that are freshly drawn toward the positive possibilities.

Lord I'm thankful that you move me out the way for a chance to move in favor of my life. Lord you bring my prayers to life to have real value you can create from where you are, using what I have.

Lord I'm very thankful for your grace to rise above the mere circumstances and start fulfilling the abundance of unique and beautiful possibilities that are in me.

Lord now I'm thankful for this life, and you God surely make it real.
