'In everything give thanks.” 1Thess.5
When I pray for my friends I usually begin with some word of thanks. I suppose it would be proper to do this when I am praying for myself as well. I don't mean giving thanks just for blessings but for who I happen to be at the moment, even if I am not satisfied with it. Each of us are a work in process, an unfinished painting. It is enough that God is painting on the canvas of our soul. What I am today is another stroke of His brush toward what I will eventually be. That alone is enough to give thanks.

Just me trying to be honest with God.
