Ungratefulizing?

So... honest thoughts? There are so many things that easy "de-gratefulize" me! I give in so quickly to the ways of this world. The ways of thinking that I deserve (where does that thought come from... deserve) better, that I deserve pleasant days, that I should feel good, that my body shouldn't always have some kind of problem... all those thoughts. Those thoughts aren't from God, they aren't from His Word... they are from this world. How quickly I conform. I find myself so far from gratitude so quickly, that it is sometimes just mortifying!

Gratitude... Jesus, make in me a grateful heart. Lord I don't want my gratitude to be based on circumstances or to be quickly lost. I don't want to give in to the ways of this world and to conform to the ideas it can place in my head. I confess that I gave in today. I confess that I lost sight of You, and became distracted. My eyes got caught in earthly things, instead of Heavenly treasures. Jesus we know that we can do all things through You, and so I pray that through You, my heart would be molded into one of sincere gratitude. I pray that I would be changed, to be more like You. I want to be just like You, Daddy. I love You. Amen!

This is going to take some serious discipline, serious boldness, serious faith, serious love and grace, and serious prayer.
For some serious gratitude.
