Dear God,

I want to thank you for what you have already done. I am not goin to wait until i see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until i feel better or things look better; i am thanking you right now. i am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talkin about me; i am thanking you right now. i am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears; i am thanking you right now. i am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; i am going to thank you right now. i am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; i am going to thank you right now. i am not going to wait until i get promoted at work or until i get the job; i am going to thank you right now. i am not going to wait until i understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; i am thanking you right now. i am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; i am thanking you right now. i am thanking you because i am alive. i am thanking you because i made it through the day's difficulties. i am thanking you because i have walked around the obstacles. i am thanking you because i have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better. I'm thanking you because father, you haven't given up on me.
