"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." Psalm 100:4

​

Thanks. It’s something that we typically offer after we have received something. But we believe that before we ask God for anything, we should thank Him for everything.

Let’s spend 52 days offering thanks and praise to God for all He has done. Thanking Him for our families, for His provision, for His faithfulness. Thanking Him for the ways He has drawn us closer to Himself and ways He has shown His glory through our lives.
