Prayer Thoughts for the Heart

The words think and thank come from the same root word and one reminds us to demonstrate the other in our speech and actions.

Think means to ponder or reflect. Thank means to express gratitude.

A thankful heart and mind most often will be a thoughtful heart and a thoughtful heart and mind most often will be a thankful heart and mind.

Therefore, when we are thoughtless, we are usually thankless. Very seldom is a thoughtless person thankful for what he has and therefore he is forgetful to be thankful to himself or to anyone else.

Scriptures urges us to think and to thank. It is a choice that we need to make. No one can make it for us, but it should be the desire of our heart.

If we pause a moment to think, most likely we will pause to give thanks. Pausing gives us time to remember, as thankfulness comes to the mind from the heart.

If we are thankful to God for His goodness and believe it deeply and it rules our mind and heart, thoughtfulness and thankfulness will rule our actions. Another way to say this is, to let divine love and wisdom, umpire our life.

The Bible is a treasure chest of wisdom and knowledge for us to open and take from to use and share with others. Give thanks and think to praise God for such a wonderful gift as this.

If our speech and actions are covered with God grace, it will be gracious, wholesome, truthful, respectful, thoughtful and thankful.

Forget not! Remember the above, think and thank about the fact that these two words are interdependent. They go hand in hand and remind us what our response should be at all times.

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV).

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7 KJV).
