I tend to overlook the "small" answers to prayer or blessings I receive. The whole "30 days of Thankfulness" on facebook is great - it reminds people to regularly look at what God has blessed one with. Today, for example, was a beautiful day, I got RSVP cards finding out more friends will be celebrating with us (which always makes me smile), and the tiara and necklace I ordered came in.
I was thanking God for these and in the middle was reminded of the prayer he has yet to answer - namely in regards to a job and future stuff for Magnus and I, realizing I still do not have a sense of WHAT to pray for. This annoys and frustrates me. I will easily get my focus off of being thankful and on to my needs.
Yet Jesus, while on earth, gave us a model of what to pray - The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). Even when facing the unknown, our Lord has provided us with a manner in which to pray and seek him. So isn't that one more thing to be thankful for in the midst of a struggle?
