We should be giving thanks every morning when we are able to wake up and still be alive. We should also give thanks throughout each day, for the innumerable things Heavenly Father has blessed us with. It's inappropriate to only reach out to Heavenly Father when we face adversity, because we would have failed to be grateful for the infinite blessings we have already received and will yet receive. In fact we should have at least 10 times more prayers of gratitude than prayers seeking assistance. I know it's a challenge, but one whose blessings will far exceed the time and effort put into the prayers of gratitude.
