When do you thank God?

Question

I thank God for my life when things are at their worst because I feel humans learn from suffering, it makes us stronger mentally.

And it also teaches us compassion toward others considering we know what it's like to be in their shoes.

I guess this is where the idea of ignorance being bliss comes in, a pampered person cares about nothing but themselves.

Answer 1

i tahnk God every day and i thank him for giving me friends like you Sean.
I agree with you 100%
people should thank more about others than there selfs.
God bless you Sean
Love ya

Answer 2

I thank God all the time. While sometimes I feel I was happier when I was blind, deaf, and dumb, I am thankful I am no longer in ignorant bliss. Pain is hard. Pain purifies. I have to deal no matter what. Really, really - it was a lot worse back in the days when the Bible was actually written, so who am I to be the whiner? Suck it up and get on with it, right?

Answer 3

"When do you thank God?" - Before, during and after a planned event or trip. Usually after a bad situation, as I am unharmed, but wiser for the lesson, (although it was harsh).
I also thank GOD for miracles given throughout the day - if I am aware enough to notice them, (I sometimes don't notice until a quiet moment when my brain registers what happened.)
Basically a lot.
My guardian angel is so tired at the end of most days from saving me from my inattention - doing stupid things. Sometimes I think I have angels on shifts. (Well I drive in California, so that's a daily miracle commuting to & from work.)

Answer 4

I thank God for everything, the good and the bad. The sunshine and the rain. I thank him for the food I eat, the water I drink, the friends I have, the lessons he teaches, the "luck" I have, the fact that I have a nice life.
I thank him for my very existence everyday.

Answer 5

I was a medic in war, I thanked him daily for one more day to save others, I was a Jail Officer in Charleston County SC, I thanked him Daily for one more day to reach inmates, and to be alive, I work in the ER now in Colorado Springs, I thank him daily that I could be a hope when people have their world crash, I thank God that he has been with me through every situation

Answer 6

I thank God everytime (eg.when wake up from sleep, before and after eating,when receiving good news and etc.&everywhere.. but how much thank we give still can't compare with posterity and all things He give us in this world . He is the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.

"And glorify the praises of your Lord before the raising of the sun, and before (its) setting." (V.50:39)

Answer 7

I always think of what David says in his Psalms "And I will still yet praise Him." This comes up over and over again, when David is at his worst. He still talks about praising G-d.

The other thing I think of is the Mourner's Kaddish. In it there is nothing about death or the person who passed. Instead it exalts G-d and His glory. His compassion and mercy. It concentrates on G-d instead of our sorrow.

Answer 8

Everyday.

Answer 9

I thank God each day (but never often enough) for all His wonderful blessings. And when I'm in a time of trial, I lean gratefully on Him..

Answer 10

All the time.
