Didn't want to derail that fellas snake thread. But does it not devalue the power so many lend to these things to ask/give of it over trivial matters.

19 Quench not the Spirit.KJV
Pray without ceasing.

Who is to say God didn't bless me with that $20 lotto win?Originally posted by TexMax View Post
I don't question where the blessing came from, I just give thanks to God regardless...Matthew 17:20 New International Version (NIV)
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”Comment

No one I suppose if you believe it. It was a game created by man. I'd be more inclined to thank him I didn't trip on a stick. But that was the premise of the question. To give thanks for all or whatOriginally posted by Crazy Horse View PostComment

In ALL things seems pretty clear.
I don't think our concerns or fears or even wants are trivial to God. That also means being thankful in situations where you didn't get your way. That's the tough part.

That is actually another point I was concerned with. Prayer in performance rather than outcome.Comment

Didn't mean it that way.Originally posted by TexMax View Post
I have to pray often that my faith will be strengthened. I know that my heavenly Father is concerned about all areas of my life and I should be more diligent to thank Him for the places I perceive as coincidence.
Matthew 7:11 is where I go when I begin to question.Comment

Or outcome rather than performance I should have saidComment
