CHOOSE: GRATITUDE

There is nothing like prayer---when it comes from the lips and heart of others on one's behalf.
"I have prayed for you." (Luke 22:32) "I pray that God.....will fill you with joy...."(Romans 15:13)

How can I pray for you?
Do you have any specific prayer requests for this week?
I praised the Lord today for our friendship.
I'm rejoicing with you on God's answer to the prayers we've been praying over these last few years.

"I prayed for you today." (One of my warriors, 6/13/17)
 Those words are music to my ears----making it easy to choose gratitude.

CHOOSE: TO BLESS IN ANY VERB TENSE

Choosing to bless is always a good choice---present, past or future tense.
God blesses me as I pray.
Many have blessed me with their faithful prayers.
I will bless others as I pray for them. A way of "praying it forward."

Starting the day by saying a prayer to bless others would be a worthy choice.
