Oh no nothing wrong with it at all. It just shouldn't be the only reason we ever pray... Sorry, I don't think I worded my post right there. As Paul said, we should: "Pray without ceasing." To me that means pray about everything.

I personally try to say thanks for EVERYTHING every day. If you want to learn about the power of gratitude, pick up the book The Magic by Rhonda Byrne. I will caution you, if you are a strict Biblical constructionist, some of it may rub you the wrong way. But, ultimately the stuff she teaches is life changing if you apply it. She has her own understanding of scripture, as we all do, but truth is universal.

Indeed truth is universal. Although I am a follower of Christ and a believer in the Bible I have a great open mind and can take most things at their face value and still learn from them even if they don't exactly line up with the way I believe. How you said it was great wording. "Truth is Universal". I love it.

Well, in that case, the book The Magic, no, it's not about anything occult, should be on your reading list. It will change your entire experience in life.

Hmmm, I will see if I can find an online copy for both of them as I read from time to time and don't have anything to read at the moment.
