:Prayer Of Thankfulness:



The Prayer Of Thankfulness Seems At First

To Present The Least Difficulty To The

Beginning Pray - er.



How Easy It Is In Quiet Times Of Peace And

Joy To Lift The Heart In Gratitude To The

Source Of All Our Blessings!



But This Is Only The First Step In Learning To

Live In A Constant, Unwavering Spirit Of

Thankfulness.



As The Devil Well Knows, It Is Not In Times

Of Quiet Happiness And Well -Being That The

Reality Of Our Thankfulness Is Tested.



Do You Remember In The First Chapter Of The

Book Of Job, Satan's Challenge To God?

And The Lord Said Unto Satan, Hast Thou

Considered My Servant Job, A Perfect And An

Upright Man, One That Feareth God?

Then Satan Answered The Lord, And Said,

Doth Job Fear God For Nought?

Hast Thou Not Made An Hedge About Him, And

About His House, And About All That He Hath

On Every Side?

Thou Hast Blessed The Work Of His Hands, And

His Substance Is Increased In The Land.

But Put Forth Thy Hand Now, And Touch All That

He Hath, And He Will Curse Thee To Thy Face.

(Job, 1:11)



How Sadly We Recognize In Ourselves The

Tendency To Be Grateful Only For Those Things

Which Bring Us Momentary Satisfaction, And How

Slowly We Learn To "Give Thanks Always For All

Things."
