When I am happy,
my praise to God I sing
and I thank Him for . . .
the joy that He brings.
When I’m having troubles,
I seek Him and I pray
and I thank Him for . . .
the peace He’ll send my way.
When I am hurting,
I trust my pain He’ll heal
and I thank Him for . . .
the Holy Spirit’s seal.
When I am doubtful,
I give to Him my fear
and I thank Him for . . .
always being close and near.
Regardless of how I feel,
I praise Him in advance
and I thank the Lord . . .
no matter my circumstance!

give thanks:
for this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.”

Praising and thanking Him in advance is an excellent habit–and I usually remember it, but occasionally forget. Thanks for the reminder!
