Start Your Day by Counting Your Blessings and Be a Blessing to Others Today | Morning Prayer

before we pray let's listen to God's word and then we'll pray together Psalm 90:17 says let the favor of the Lord Our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands upon us these words remind you that no matter how hard you try no matter how much effort you put into something without God's help and blessings it all amounts to nothing life can be busy and you might feel like you're constantly working or striving to make things better but pause for a moment and reflect are you inviting God into the work of your

hands are you asking him not just to bless your efforts but to make them a blessing to others God has given you so much already if you take a moment to look around you'll see the many blessings he's placed in your life think of your family your friends and the people who love and care about you these are gifts from from God even if you don't always notice them as such sometimes the simple things a warm home food to eat clothes to wear are blessings that are easy to take for granted but these too are

evidence of God's favor in your life there's an old hymn that says count your blessings name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done it's a beautiful reminder of how easy it is to overlook God's goodness when you don't intentionally reflect on it but counting your blessings isn't where it ends as you see all that God has done for you let it inspire you to pray for something greater that you too may become a blessing to others imagine living in such a way that others count you as one of

the blessings in their lives God's favor doesn't just flow to you it is meant to flow through you touching and uplifting the lives of those around you Proverbs 11:25 says whoever brings blessing will be enriched and one who Waters will himself be watered this verse carries a profound truth when you choose to bless others you open yourself up to be blessed even more God loves a cheerful giver and he honors those who seek to share his love through acts of kindness generosity and encouragement if you make it your mission to bring joy to others God

will sure that your life overflows with his joy and blessings but how do you become a blessing it starts with prayer pray that God will guide you shape your heart and open your eyes to the needs of those around you pray for his favor not just for your own life but so that you can be a vessel of his love and kindness and so with a humble heart let us come before God In Prayer dear heavenly father I am in awe of your boundless love for me a love that never falters never fails and never
