A prayer for a thankful heart by Debbie Prisbilski, read by Leah Martin.

My cup overflows with your blessings, Psalm 23.

It's not easy to give thanks in every circumstance,

but when we choose to thank God in the midst of difficulty, it defeats the forces of darkness in the spiritual realm.

When we thank God for every gift he's given us, even when things are hard, the enemy loses the battle against us.

He is stopped in his tracks when we come to God with a thankful heart.

Learn to be thankful for every blessing from God in your life.

It's of great significance to Him.

If in the midst of great trials, we can be thankful.

There is a way of looking at life from the standpoint of

eternity, the reality of eternal life and eternal glory that far exceeds this life is

a priceless treasure.

Our afflictions are working out for us

a far more exceeding an eternal weight of glory.

Lord, teach me to offer you a heart of thanksgiving and praise in all my daily

experiences of life. I long to bring pleasure to your heart daily.

Break the power of the enemy in my life, defeat him through my sacrifice of

praise, change my outlook, an attitude into one of joyful contentment with my present circumstances.

I thank you for, and here you can name a difficult circumstance in your life presently and thank God for it.

Jesus I want to be like you who obeyed the Father without complaint. You embraced the

chains of humanity when you walked this Earth. Convict me whenever I complain or compare

myself with others. I know that your truth dwells in a thankful heart.
