Grateful Prayer

Just a short thought on prayer.

Have you ever done a prayer solely made up of what you are thankful for?

General at least in my case my prayers are heavy on the the stuff I need help with or things I want to ask for like "protection".  They are light on the things I'm grateful for.  Some have suggested to do a grateful prayer where you go on and on about all the fine things you have received in life, like health, roof over your head, employment, family, possessions, and the like.  It can seems hard at first but, in the end you really have a lot of things to be thankful for.










The Lord wants to give you more blessings and sometimes he's just waiting to hear that you are thankful for a few of the things he has provided to you.  it is like changing the way you think of things.  Moving away from the ME, ME, ME attitude and more to the attitude of gratitude.  Less selfishness and more service minded.







That is another things to tray as well.   Provide a lot of service even when your down.  Even when you are in need.  Provide some service.  Your whole mood will change.







Great place to provide service is at the Temple.  Help your ancestors that did not have the chance to receive the saving ordinances when they were alive.  You'll feel wonderful when your done.
