Moody. I had heard quite a lot about the author, but it was my first time reading any of his books. It was a timely read for me and I\u2019ve been so blessed reading it with the book club community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the lessons we learned from the book is that <strong>thanksgiving is one of the nine elements of prayer<\/strong>. The author states that thanksgiving is one of the most underutilized aspects of prayer. He asked readers to pay attention to the thankful life of Apostle Paul in scriptures. <strong>He was the most persecuted apostle, yet he was the most thankful.<\/strong> He wrote many of his letters while going through one unpleasant experience or another, yet he would always encourage the church to be thankful. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wrote the book of Philippians from the prison. Yet, it\u2019s one of the most quoted scriptures on thanksgiving. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Do not be anxious&nbsp;<em>or<\/em>&nbsp;worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<cite>PHILIPPIANS 4:6 (amp)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>D.L. Moody, also stated in this book that <strong>there\u2019s always something to be thankful for. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worry and anxiety are only strategies that the enemy uses to take advantage of believers. He knows that when we choose gratitude and thanksgiving despite the happenings around us, we attract God\u2019s attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, that\u2019s a good place to begin.&nbsp;Please say this prayer if you want to begin a new life with Jesus:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Dear Jesus, I accept you today as my Lord and personal Saviour. I confess that I have sinned; please forgive me. I believe that you died and rose again for me. By your blood, cleanse me from every unrighteousness. Thank you for the new life you have given me, help me to serve you all the days of my life. Ultimately, please help me make it to eternity with you, in Jesus name. Amen.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, you are now born again! If you said this prayer and would like additional information\/guidance, please send an email to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:1nebodyblog@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1nebodyblog@gmail.com<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new week presents new opportunities. Perhaps, you haven\u2019t been the best at giving thanks to God in the past. How about you ask God for a fresh start, beginning this week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose to be thankful! Not just this week or for the rest of the year, but as a lifestyle. <strong>Be deliberate about finding a reason to be thankful to God.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a thoroughly blessed and thankful week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God\u2019s blessings always,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dammy&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Amazing Reader,&nbsp; It\u2019s a great day that the Lord has made, we\u2019ll rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus name.&nbsp; Last weekend, the 1nebody Book Club community met to review the book, Prevailing Prayer, by Dwight L.
