Do you bargain with God? Do you complain to God more than you express gratitude? Do you tend to pray for specific things rather than pray in appreciation? ~ Myss, Caroline. Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (p. 283). Potter/TenSpeed/Harmony. Kindle Edition.
Praying in appreciation?
Never thought of it before…
certainly not in those terms!
But it certainly makes sense.
Gratitude for what we receive
is logical, expected, whether
addressed to God or to a person.
But how often do we set down a to-do list,
coming back to our expectations…
either to remind God of omitted items
remaining, “needing” to be ticked off.
God, teach me to pray,
remembering always
Who of the two of us can best understand
the situation!
