I was always asking God to help me in my time of need and always quick to thank him for those things he saw fit to turn my way, but it took many years for me to realize I needed to thank him BEFORE I asked him for help. I needed to thank him every day for all things good in my life and even for the bad things that have helped me grow spiritually.
I thank him for helping me to see that--and I thank you, too, my Christian friends who post here. God has blessed me to have you in my life.
