Thank You is Enough

I have been a born-again Christian since I was 8 years old but have been inactive in church for so many years, since high school.

I read on-line devotions in between tasks but have not been in deep communion with God.

My prayer time is usually in the morning when I am walking to work. I am in awe of God's creation everyday. The beautiful sky, the sun, green trees and singing birds put me in the mood to pray, to thank God for another day and for all the blessings He has been showering me.  I would pray for good health for my family and protection of everyone in the household as we are all in different places  during the day. Kids are in school, husband and me at work and Mama at home. I just say a big thank you to God and I've reached the office.

The rest of the day is gone in a flash. It even seems that days are not enough to accomplish so many tasks. I don't regularly pray at night.

I knew and felt that I was so far from God. On my breast cancer diagnosis, I did not immediately pray to God for help. Maybe due to the shock.

It was only before my mastectomy that I came to God on my knees, seeking for His forgiveness and begging Him to give me a chance to live. 

Keeping myself in a prayerful mood and reading scripture about healing, I was immediately brought in the presence of God. I know that I am forgiven and that God loves me just the same. 

I trully realized that God does not change! Even if I changed. It did not matter that the only prayer I uttered for so many years is Thank You, He received me back to His embrace when I ran back to Him.
