I was struggling with a health issue since last July. Nothing massive, I’m okay. Just annoying enough to really bother me and be just a little bit worry-some. I visited my doctor a few times, had tests done, tried different medications. It was a process that took time. I prayed about it for quite some time. Then after a while, I just forgot about it. Plain and simple forgot. Forgot it was ever even a problem from me. Moved on to a new problem in my life. Focused on something else. As I was driving to the pharmacy to pick up my medication, it dawned on me. I don’t think about it anymore, because the medication is working. I am better. Prayers have been answered. And I’ve been better for about two months now. I just didn’t even realize it. How silly is that? So I stopped in the parking lot before going in and just prayed. I thanked God for health. I thanked God for answering my prayers.  And then it made me think, how often do we do this? How many times have I worried over something, prayed over something but then got so busy, I didn’t even realize he answered my prayer? I just move on to my next request. With the year being 2020, I’m seeing a lot of references to seeing clearly, focusing, having clear vision. For me, this year, my resolution is to be more aware, be more grateful. I try to be grateful, but in my human flesh, sometimes I fail. Think about the last couple of prayer requests you’ve made that have been answered. I challenge you to make sure you thank the God of all things for those things.

2020 focus on gratitude.
