Attitude of Gratitude to the Father!!!
As I burn the midnight oil at 1:21am on 11/30/2022, I take-in all the happenings that the month of November brought. This month was definitely one I would describe as intentional communication, declaration, and warfare.
As I put the babies to sleep, I awoke this evening to check on my oldest son just to find out that he had a fever and was under the weather. So, like the mom I am, I prayed over him, gave him meds, and sat with him as he drifted back off to sleep. I walked into the kitchen and all I could hear in my spirit is write. Honestly, I have no clue what to talk about…
Have you ever just wondered how you have the ability to keep going with so much going on? As I reflect on November, I remember it being shared that this is a supernatural/spiritual month that requires much prayer and intentional praise. So, tonight, as I write, I will resist the urge to recount all of the happening that I experienced this month. Instead, I simply say…HALLELUJAH!
Father God, you are AWESOME! I end this month with a voice of triumph to the Most High God! Father, thank you so much for keeping my mind and reassuring me; forever yet gently reminding me that You are good, and your mercy is everlasting! I praise you Jehovah for being a very present help in times of trouble! I thank you for being Healer to my children! I thank you for being a Provider and reminding me that You are my source in spite of the vehicle that is used to bring in resources! Thank you for talking to me and hearing my frustrations and hearts cry when I simply needed a hug and needed reassurance that I am enough, and this season of preparation is right where I need to be. Thank you for sticking closer than a brother and reminding me that I am your own! Every tear, every question, every fear, was met with your love and greater your word that bubbles over into every moment and experience to gently remind me of how powerful You are and that your promises are Yes and Amen!
Back in October, I wrote a poem during my morning quiet time with you and immediately after, you quickened me to have it copywritten. The process was finalized, and I now have a piece of work that is copywritten all due to listening to the quickening of the precious Holy Spirit. What should have taken several months, only took a few weeks. So, daddy God, I dedicate this moment to You and simply say, THANK YOU! I am eternally grateful for who You are and sit in AWE of your perfection, holiness, and I remain awestruck of your wonder! You have been oh so good to me! Nothing, I mean NOTHING is better than You! You have been a very present help in times of trouble. Like the woman at the well, you met me in the middle of my despair and offered me a cup of Your living water NEVER to thirst again! This living water never runs out and when I feel thirst due to the issues of life, like the loving Father you are, You continue to show up in the middle of it ALL!
So, I dedicate this post to the One who never sleeps and never slumbers! The One who I call on and when I feel shame for questioning His wonder and power, He lovingly meets me with understanding and grace. Thank you for being gentle in my moment of fragility and stern in my moments of excuses! Thank you for being with me in the fire like you were present with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Firey furnace! Thank you for ALWAYS showing up!
I am forever thankful and am in Gratitude for the Father…
Gratitude For The Father (copywritten Poem)
Thank you, heavenly father for being all that to me,
When you sit on the thrown as Deity!
You didn’t have to come down and sup with me,
But you did by sacrificing your life on Calvary!
Bloodshed, stains, pierced in the side.
Never mumbled a word of resistance, yet cried…
“Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.
Remember this was the plan back in Genesis 2.
When we created man in Our image,
Knowing the day would come
That I’d say, IT IS FINISH, the victory is won!”
So, thank you, heavenly father for being all that to me,
When you sit on the thrown as Deity!
You didn’t have to come down and sup with me,
But you did by sacrificing your life on Calvary!

Hello Jack! Thank you for acknowledging my writing! I only post content that I originally create though it may be inspired by something I read. This particular post was inspired during my quiet time with the Lord during morning prayer. I simply wanted to share with the Lord how I felt about Him and decided to write. In the end, it wsa a poem that I have since copywritten 🙂
