Thankfulness Equals Contentment

Thank the Lord for He is good, His steadfast love endures forever. Psalm 118:1

Forgive me Father, for being ungrateful at times and focusing on the wrong things. Help me to remember that an ungrateful heart only increases my struggle in this fallen world, leading to discontentment, anger, impatience, jealousy, envy, covetousness, grumbling, complaining and more.

Help me to remember that nothing good ever comes from an ungrateful heart.

Thank you, Father, for who you are and for sending Jesus to save me, for your steadfast love, abundant grace, eternal forgiveness and all the blessings you have placed in my life. Thank you that you will never leave or forsake me and that I have eternal life with you and that you have made me an heir with Jesus. Thank you for the Word, the righteous new creation you have made me and a new heaven and earth, for my home and family that loves me and for my friends and all who pray for me. Thank you for the money you have trusted me with, like my home, truck, clothing, food, clean water and more than I really need. Thank you for every opportunity you give me to help others, to pray, encourage, bless and share Christ.

Help me to notice and be thankful for all the blessings in my life, the big and especially the small, like a hot cup of coffee, a beautiful flower, a brilliant sunrise, heating and cooling, a comfortable bed and a faithful pet. Help me to maintain a grateful heart in all circumstances, for who You are and what You have done for me, for your mercy, grace and forgiveness. Help me to always remember your steadfast love for me. Thank you, Jesus, for your faithfulness, even when I am unfaithful.

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Phil 4:11-13 ESV

Thankfulness leads to contentment, leading to His peace and so much more.

Thank Him Every Day!

FREE E-BOOK and Inexpensive Print Copies

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend, family member or inmate (free e-book or $3.66 print copy). Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campuses and online in several languages. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Maybe you know someone in prison or just a lost soul that you love who needs to trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior or needs to have their faith encouraged? You can ship single paperback copies directly from Amazon for $3.66 each to an inmate or anyone. For inmates, you just need their facility name, address, inmates name and id number. Most prisons and jails will accept packages directly from places like Amazon. If you are a member of Amazon prime it would ship for free. Just add the person's shipping address when you check out and it goes directly to them. If you try to send it from a personal address, it will be rejected. 

GO HERE to order your copy of Gravity to be sent to your lost friend or family member who is (incarcerated or not) and needs Jesus. Offer them the gift of eternal life in Christ for $3.66. What a great investment.

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
