We all live in a world which moving too fast. Every day we do lots of things, meet many people. When we are facing a failure, dissatisfaction, breakdown, disruption, regret, etc. At our bedtime, we go to church at the house of GOD and pray to GOD to help us in our difficult times, but how many times do we thank GOD back after we survive our bedtime or in over good time? Statistics showed that 75% of parents are so busy that they do not have enough time to spend with their kids or themselves, not alone have time for devotions, and to thank God in the midst of it all. We know the busyness of life usually takes us away from acknowledging God even in the smallest thing of life. Sometimes we may even hear or feel the Holy Spirit tugging at us but we are even too busy to listen to the Holy Spirit within us. Do not worry we will help you find a way to thank or acknowledge God for everything He does for you daily.
Church says, “GOD gives us a beautiful life. We should manage some time free from our busy lives and be thankful to GOD for giving us this life.” We all know the Bible is a word of GOD. It is mentioned in the Bible that why people should say thank you to GOD.
We should simply give thanks to God for who He is, what He has done for us, and for the plan He has set within us from the beginning of our lives. Jeremiah 1:5 and Jeremiah 29:11. We encourage you to start giving thanks to God when you wake up in the morning, just say thank you God for allowing me to wake up this morning. Thank God for allowing you to get to work and get back home safe, thank God for protecting your kids in school, and for your health, thank God for providing for you, and just thank Him for everything He has done for you. None of these take a minute to do and you can also do them while you driving or getting ready for work. Remember God is Holy and we should make time for Him in the 12 hours he gave each one of us each day.
Below are some verses that talk about the importance of thanking God and the benefit that come with it.

Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday. It will always be helpful to read articles from other writers and use something from other sites.
