Praise the Lord today!

Life isn’t perfect.

Maybe today isn’t even what you planned.

Maybe you’ve got a lot of “other stuff” going on so you feel like you can’t be fully present.

But no matter what your circumstances are like today, no matter what kitchen mishaps or missing family members or awkward moments…

“Praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving.” D&C 136:28

A prayer of praise and thanksgiving is always an option.

Praise. And thanksgiving.

Don’t those go perfectly hand in hand?

Recognizing the goodness and glory of God, and then feeling gratitude for all that He has done for you?

Today, no matter what my day looks like, I’m going to offer a prayer of praise and of thanksgiving.

And, knowing me, there will be some music and singing involved, too.

But I want to praise my Lord by remembering all that He has given me!

This beautiful earth!

My body!

My friends, both old and new!

My family members!

The opportunity to change when I make a mistake!

My scriptures!

Feeling overwhelming love!

The Holy Spirit!

My covenants!

Something to be optimistic about!

The chance to be alive!

Praise and thanksgiving to my Lord today, and every day.

What are you feeling especially grateful for today? Comment below and let’s share the thanksgiving spirit! 

Happy Studying!
