Giving Thanks for Boring

Most people miss their blessings because they’re disguised as “boring.”
Especially worship leaders.

We pray for God to move…
then miss the miracle of the morning we woke up pain-free, with breath in our lungs, and a team to lead.

Here’s the reality:

• If you’re not in a hospital waiting room today — you’re already ahead of millions.

• If your kid is running around making noise — that’s abundance wearing chaos.

• If you get to lead worship this weekend — that’s a privilege, not a pressure.

Normal is the gift.
Crisis is the exception.
Most of us get it backwards.

Parents in children’s hospitals aren’t praying for “anointed moments.”
They’re praying for normal ones.
A boring dinner.
A quiet night.
A messy living room.
A Sunday where the biggest problem is a wrong chord.

And here’s the punch in the gut:

You are living in the answered prayers you prayed years ago.
The job.
The home.
The relationships.
The ministry.
The health.
The family.

This is the life your old self begged God for.

So thank Him for it.

And because it’s Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S., here’s the challenge:

1. Thank God for the normal.
   The quiet mercies you step over every day.

2. Thank God for the answered prayers you’re living in right now.
   Even the imperfect ones.

3. Pray in a way that sets up your future self.
   If you’re standing in yesterday’s prayers, what are you praying today to shape tomorrow?

Normal isn’t “less.”
Normal is grace.
Normal is privilege.
Normal is the miracle most people never notice.

Happy Thanksgiving. (To those in the USA, and to those elsewhere who can still give thanks)
Notice the ordinary.
Thank God for the normal.
Lead from gratitude.
