Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Psalm 100:4 NIV
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV
You born again in the Lord and have been doing as He has asked of you. The old has gone and the new has come. But in the midst of it all, there are times where you struggle to pray, you feel a disconnect, you're in the midst of it all and yet you feel far away, what do you do in such a circumstance? You persist and preserve in Praise and Thanksgiving. You Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances.
Come to think of it, no matter what the external circumstance, you are still breathing, your heart is still working and pumping blood for you, now that in itself, is a miracle, therefore you praise and thank God. Jesus always Praised and Thanked His Father, in fact, His prayers were always of Praise and Thanksgiving. (Mat 11: 25, John 11:41, John 12:28) God's wants it that way so that we know, He is in control of everything, even if we feel otherwise. When you Praise and Thank God, you take the step and enter his Gates, you are in his territory. As you find yourself on this familiar ground, your faith is not only restored, but also works the miracles in your life.
I pray that God our Father accepts every breath you take and the beat of your heart as a prayer of Praise and Thanksgiving. May you Rejoice always as you give Thanks that you are God's heir in Jesus Christ and may you bear the Fruits His Holy Spirit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
