How many of us say a Thank You to God everyday of our lives ?

I start my day praying to God along with my daughter before she goes to school.

hi there ketybhagat sometimes i forgot to say thankyou lord before we eat i try now to remember more but i have children they forget too or sometimes maybe lazy but i know we need to say thankyou that what he has given us thanks for this discussion and god bless you

It`s a good habbit -it doesnt matter if we believe in God or in a Supreme Power. To thank means that we open the channels to get more and more goodies. But we must do it not mechanically, just with our heart.

I usually say that phrase so dearly every time I need to. When I am in a traffic jam, get a mishap in traffic, manage to draw some bucks from the ATM, enjoy a meal, countless things I say "Thank you God" for. I just feel he is a very gacious being and has great influence and bearing on my life. However, I respect other people's beliefs too.

You have made a powerful statement. Thanking God every single day for all the blessings he bestowed on us and all the lessons that He sent our way is very important. Often times, people go through life wanting this and wanting that...but when they receive, they fail to thank the one responsible for bringing it forth. Without God, we wouldn't be here and we cannot forget that. Before your head lands on your pillow at night...thank Him. When your feet touches the floor at the start of a new day...thank Him. Thank Him for everything and as often as you could. He is the greatest thing that has happened to us and many are too blind to see. Thank you for this posting. Be blessed and always positive.

As a religious Jew, one says proscribed prayers 3 times a day and within those prayers are a minimum of 100 thanks to G'd. There is also the Shma which is said before sleep every night and the blessings before and after each meal. There are also the blessings for all the wonders we see each day as we go about our daily tasks. Each day no matter how mundane is filled with small wonders that we should be thankful for! It lifts the spirit and makes each day more lovely than the one before! La Shana Tova! Happy New Year! Adoniah

i am so happy to read your post... i do it everyday as well and i learn not to take things for granted as well for all the things that i have now... i learn that i just a pilgrim in this world and nothing belongs to me since i come to this world with nothing... so i know everything that i have is from God and i have to use it for His glory... i say thank you to Him for all the smallest thing that He had given to me and His blessings... God Bless you...

Magica said "It`s a good habbit -it doesnt matter if we believe in God or in a Supreme Power" and I somewhat agree...I personally DO NOT believe in god and I personally DO NOT "thank" any higher being/power etc for anything...BUT I appreciate just 'being' every day..I appreciate how fortunate I am and how I've succeeded in my life against the odds and so on...Which IMO is just as proper, valid and right as thanking someone/something.... I will NEVER however apologise for anything I've done in my life....there is no need to say "I'm sorry" for reacting that way/doing this/saying that/feeling this and so on...Just like everythign that has happened to me in life was for a reason, even the horrible things, everything I have done in life whether good or bad was also for a reason so I see no need to say I'm sorry for that..why would I ya know...I'm NOT sorry...

I say Thank You to God however, i admit that there are really days which i do forget to say it.. But as much as i communicate with Him, i always say my thanks to Him. I owe Him my life, my everything. My thank you is not even enough for all that He has given me. Humbly, i ask him to shower more His blessings upon me everyday. A grateful heart, i know, the Lord will appreciate so much.. just as i also appreciate those people who remembers to say thank you to me even for just a little, tiny bit things i do for them. I guess we should develop this virtue of being thankful always and the virtue of humility.

Hi kety, Yes, I say "thank you" to God everyday! He blesses me beyond measure every single day of my life. He loves me more than I can ever imagine and He so deserves our thanks and our praise! We need to confess our sins daily and ask for forgiveness. He is such a forgiving God! He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into this world to save it from sin. He made a way for us to be with Him forever in Heaven! Yes, THANK YOU, JESUS!! Praise God!:)

hi kety! ^__^ i'll admit that its not an everyday habit of mine to say thanks to the Lord. and i'll be honest that sometimes i use God's name in vain. .

I think it's interesting the things we take for granted. I have one better for you....ketybhagat....When was the last time you thanked Him for the breath you take? We take so many without thinking about it. Thank you God for the very breath you give me that is there, each time I take it without even thinking about it.

Well i do thank God for the things and life and regret my sins,however i haven't done it everyday.It's hard for me to do it everyday because i have so many things in mind that i just forget.I know it's no excuse but it does happen that way.It's not easy to do that when you have never done that before.But maybe one day i will succeed to thank God everytday.

i've learned to thank God everyday since i met a good man in my life who gave a big part on my spiritual development. every morning i would ask for His blessings and before i sleep i would thank God for those blessings and "report" on how i used those and how I gave Him glory with those blessings.

I try to say thank you to God every day for everything he has blessed me wiht.

Nope, I used to say thanks but learned that God just wants us to acknoledge him, no thanks needed. Of course that I seek to live my life that reflect his love is most likely thanks enough. To do more puts one in danger of showing pride of ones position, much like the Jews were doing during the time of Jesus and if you read Matthew 23:37-39 you can see where that path goes. (I could easily type out the passage, but if your too prideful already that you don't need to read what Jesus says, then my preaching to you will do the same thing that happens when one tries to teach a pig to sing, its aggravates you and frustrates me.)

I Thank God everyday in my life. I Thank Him for everything He has given me on that particular day before i sleep. I Thank him before i have my meals. We should Thank him for everything that He has given us in this world. And i ask for forgiveness from God if i had done something wrong. Happy to hear that you are a changed person :) God bless you

i thank GOD everyday of my life for all the blessings in my life, from waking up to sleep at night... especially if i saw some less fortunate...

I try to say Thank You to God every morning at least. For me, it is being grateful for simple things, waking up, having enough to eat, a car to drive, etc. Being grateful is the exact opposite of self-pity. You can't have a grateful 'heart' and feel sorry for yourself. I am not as good at looking for those things I should hold precious, but at least I do try.

I think I do say thank you and I am sorry to God most of the time. But I don't say it on a habitual basis. I say it when I mean it. Saying sorry because I have done a particular bad thing is right, but when I repeat the bad thing, and then I say sorry, I think it should not be like that. Sorry means trying not to do it again. Saying thank you, means I am grateful to what has been given, and it should reflect to my day to day life that I am blessed by God. And by being grateful, I must be able to share his blessings with others. I say it, and I also mean it.
