Recently, I listened to Stop Letting Everything Affect You by Daniel Chidiac. At the end of the book Mr. Chidiac encourages his listeners to be “thankful for you”. Undercover Publishing House 2025
I grew up in a household where you DID NOT brag on yourself. Being thankful for you might be viewed as bragging?
There is a content creator on YouTube that I watch; ProDayDJ. He’s highly entertaining. In one of his videos, he almost started preaching. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. He said, “God made me. I got here through my parents but God made me.”
Lord,
It’s not easy to be thankful for me. There are so many questions I have. So many doubts. What purpose could I actually serve? What good am I (one out of billions). What really is my worth? I am not setting the world on fire. No one hangs on my every word. I suffer pain and grief, misfortune and mistrust just like my neighbor. I’m the girl next door. There is nothing special about me. But you told me Lord, that I am special. That YOU made me in your image. (Genesis 1:2) That YOU knitted me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalm 139: 13) That YOU counted the hairs on my head. That I am more precious to YOU than the sparrow. (Luke 12:7)
By the world’s standards, I am nobody. But to you, oh Lord, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14) I am your creation. You breathed life into me. (Genesis 2:7)
I thank you lord for me. For all the small things I get to do in your name.
Amen
