Thanksgiving
Sometimes we get too busy with life and forget the importance of being grateful to God for everything around us. This book reminded me of the basics. May have taken long but it's a vital book to have around.

Despite everything that might befall us, we still need to be inspired to give thanks to the Lord and convey our gratitude for what He has given us. We can become subjugated by all the events and responsibilities we need to accomplish during any time of the year, especially during the holiday season. We wind up forgetting to take time to shift our concentration to what we are celebrating.
Reflecting on Scripture verses of why we still need to be thankful can ease our sufferings. Given the Christian woman I am, I sought verses applicable to me 'regarding the manners in which the Lord has blessed me that I want to share with others to benefit from them.
So, for starters, let's reflect on PHILIPPIANS 4:6 [NKJV]:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;"
And then MATTHEW 6:25 [NKJV] goes on to tell us:
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?"
In reading 2 CORINTHIANS 4:15 [NLT], we find the following:
"All of this is for your benefit. And as God's grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory."
Instructions on how we need to behave when we go to the Lord with our offers of thanksgiving can be found in PSALM 95:2 [NKJV]:
"Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalm."
Giving thanks to the Lord through our prayers is fraught with power, and in her book, author Rachel has illustrated to her readers how powerful doing this simple action can become. Several Scriptures mention having eyes and not seeing. Ms. Larkin, through the 21 prayers she has offered here, wants them to be able to, as she states in her description for the book, open their eyes to the unseen, draw them into God's presence, unlock conversations with God, keep them hopeful, banish fear and doubt, bring your clarity and experience miracles.
My prayer for all those who read this review is:
"The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." [NUMBERS 6:24-26 – NKJV].
For wanting her readers to transform their lives through their prayers of thanksgiving, being a Christian woman who is a voracious reviewer of Christian books, I'm happy to give Ms. Larkin the 5 STARS she's earned.

🔲 Excerpt :
🔸 A BELIEVER CANNOT GROW spiritually without spending time in God’s Word and time talking with Him. It’s just like any other relationship - you need to spend time with people to get to know them. We don’t read it to gain brownie points with God or make Him love us more. No, we read it to gain life. It seems so simple but why do we not take the time to immerse ourselves in the Scriptures? Maybe we don’t fully understand how powerful the word is and we take it for granted.

Well thought out and organized, Rachel Larkin has a great view of fitting thankfulness into our everyday lives and I would like to see her flesh out the ideas in a further extent. Each article is slightly longer than a Daily Bread passage, but could easily be chapter length instead of short-form.
There is nothing here that I disagreed with and am eager to hear her voice her editorials in a more long-form style. Keep making the easily digestible snippets but also use this as a framework for a more detailed accounting of ideas.

A huge thank you to Rachel for writing this book. So much creeps into your daily life at times we don't even think of being thankful for what God is doing in our life. We take a lot of things for granted and we need to be thankful every minute of the day because without Him we are lost. Being thankful must be part of your day and not sometimes. Will be rereading this book so that thankfulness becomes part of my daily life.

Meaningful Spiritual Topics
Each chapter focuses on both spiritual and practical topics to be thankful for. Things like our time, our friends, our work, Gods love, Gods grace and more. Scriptures, examples and prayers. I especially liked the prayers that were included with each topic.

Lovely Read.
This book is a beautiful reminder of our daily thanksgivings to be sung to the Lord. We often forget during our time of need to start off with thanksgiving and praise. This is a wonderful book to get into the habit of how to speak to pur Heavenly Father.

This is one of the few books I read that I prayed through. it is so easy to understand. Each chapter has three segments that lead up to the prayer starting with scriptures that set your mind for being thankful while you are praying.

How glorious is our God...
See His magnificence as you gaze at the sunset and the sunrise sky. Not once is the colour the same... how He cares and provides for all the birds and how much more He loves, cares and provides for us.

This was a quick read but wasn't what I was expecting. There were a lot of Bible verses but not much depth in the narrative of giving thanks in various areas of your life. The prayers were not as deep and inspiring as I thought they might be.

A wonderful book of prayers of praise and thanksgiving, which stimulates contemplation on God and Jesus and leads to communication with Them beyond the book.

For those who like guided prayer and scripture this should be helpful to engage in prayer to God and thankfulness.

Lackluster… simple and basic. There doesn’t seem to be any emotion in it, and this could have been so powerful. Even the reading from the author lacks much emotion.
