Sometimes, when we pray for something and God answers us, we forget to say "thank you." I had a moment like that just today! I woke up feeling kind of grumpy and really didn’t want to go to school. I work hard in school, and sometimes, I just need a break. So, I prayed, asking God to help me recharge.
Later that day, my teacher announced that we would be dismissed early because of a problem with the bathrooms. I felt bad about the situation, and I know that God didn’t cause it, but boy, did I need that break! I was so excited to go home that I completely forgot to thank God for my teachers deciding to let us go home early.
I think this happens to a lot of us. When we see how God works through situations to bless us, sometimes we forget to show our gratitude. There’s a verse that really helps remind us to be thankful. It’s 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT), which says, “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” This reminds us that it is important to thank God for all things, big and small. I’ll definitely try to remember that next time!
