Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

As disciples, believers, & Christians we need to take some time on Sunday Morning before we get here so that we can fully engage in the worship provided by the worship team.

Get up just a little earlier than normal and write a gratitude list.

if you cant write a gratitude list because your heart is so burden come to the altar of prayer immediately! ( Do not wait for the last song if you can help it.)

We need to participate in worship.
