Thank You, Lord

I just feel the need to share something that the Lord revealed to me tonight. I went to a healing and prayer session at my grandmother’s church because of the psoriasis on my scalp that I’ve dealt with for the past eight years. I won’t lie, it’s pretty gross and I do feel rather ashamed sometimes. Tonight, though, I just felt like a veil of shame was being lifted and these words kept replaying over and over again in my mind- “Thank You, Lord. Yes, Lord.” Those two simple sentences. Yet the importance behind them lingers.

I feel like God was reminding me that this is what’s needed most in my life. These are the phrases that should be on the tip of my tongue at all times- thank you and yes.

I should always be in a state of gratitude. I should always be praising His name and rejoicing in Him because He truly has blessed me in more ways I can even fathom. At the end of the day, God deserves the highest praise.

Obedience is also key to growth and happiness. When I listen to God and obey His word and do what He is calling me to do, I will experience a beautiful growth in my faith because nothing beats obeying the Lord. He is the One who has numbered each hair on my head and knows the plans He has for me. I need to rely on Him and trust in Him. I need to be willing to obey and go to the ends of the earth for His glory and name if I feel led to go.

Thank You, Lord.

And yes, Lord.

That is really all I need.
