Enter with thanksgiving
The Psalmist writes,
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to [God] and praise his name.” Psalm 100:4
When you pray and worship God do first enter Gods gates with thanksgiving and praise? Quite often when we approach God we approach Him with “a shopping basket of requests”.
Now there is nothing wrong with asking God to help you. In the book of Philippians we read,
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And they peace of God , which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6,7.
The way I see it we should all approach God with thanksgiving. We should thank God for all He is and all He has done and will do for us.
So when you pray do you approach God with thanksgiving in your heart?
Please think about it.
