Category: Giving Thanks & Praise to God

Not from a close knit family
Many who loved now gone on to glory
But when I feel dejected or lonely
God does something special to comfort me
It’s like no matter the billions of people in society
God still gives special attention to me

Whether it’s late at night
Or early in the day
He’s available to hear what I got to say
When I have to walk alone
I feel His spirit besides me
It makes me think
Whom am I that Thou art mindful of me? (Psalm 8:4)

When I’m lonely, He sends company
When I feel I can’t go on, He gives me a boost of energy
When I’m not feeling well, He miraculously heals me
When unexpected bills come, from nowhere comes money
When bad memories come to my mind
My brain over powers them with thoughts of the good times
For now and ever, thank You Lord for Your tender mercies
Thanks for giving special attention to me.

Today the preacher talked about God’s grace and mercy
As he was speaking, I thought about how the message applied to me
I can relate to the fact that as hard as you may pray
God may not take your problem away
But sufficient is His grace

Like Paul, there’s a thorn in my life
And I’ve prayed for it’s removal night and day
And while God hasn’t taken the thorn away
He’s supplied me with His grace
As He gives me strength to deal with it each day

And like the preacher said, God’s help is always on time
Several times I felt I could have lost my mind
And just as I thought not much more I can take
Out of nowhere God sent temporary relief
Just in time for me to kept my sanity

And I can’t forget the time when an employer wanted to fire me
But before it happened, God opened a new opportunity
I can go on and on about God’s grace and mercy in my life
Sometimes He doesn’t remove the thorn
But helps you endure or adjust to the trial
His grace is sufficient like He told Paul
Eventually He’ll allow you see
What you asked for, you really didn’t need
Cause His grace is sufficient for thee.

Scripture Reference
2 Corinthians 12:7 – 10

How wonderful Thou Art
When end to trouble seemed so impossible or so far away
You used Your awesome powers and grace
And came with solutions out of no place
And You were always on time
Sins You put behind
And blessed with Your grace
Your wonders so amaze

If I lived forever I can never express
Completely to You my gratefulness
For all Your wonderfulness

As my nights end and my days start
I’ll dispense thanks from the reservoir in my heart
And memories shall never depart
Of how wonderful Thou Art.
