Dear God,

Gratitude, giving thanks and praise to God, is the key to our faith.  When I begin my day by giving thanks, I place you at the center of my life, as the source of all that is.  I focus on you not on myself.  I acknowledge you first and foremost as creator, sustainer and guide.  I recognize you as the only one who gives me life and keeps me alive in so many ways.

When I direct my first thoughts to you, I am giving witness to my faith.  When I fill the air with my praise, I lift my own spirit allowing your hope to penetrate my soul, mind and heart.  When I begin there, my day can begin with joy and peace.

O God,

please be first

in my life.

I want that

more than anything.

I want

to always

give praise

and thanksgiving

to you

for so

very many reasons.

Lead me

to you

first thing

in the morrning.

Love, Andrea
