You lose nothing by thanking

When I say, "Thank God for protecting my left knee!", do you think God is really doing it? Or, is it just my imagination? In fact, there are two possibilities.

1. God, in fact, worked to protect my left knee.
2. God did not protect my left knee. It happened by accident.

In case of 1, if God really did it, then it is very natural thing to be thankful. God will also be happy when you thank Him about what He did.

In case of 2, if God did not do it, and then you start thanking Him. God may be surprised, or shocked. He might say, "Oh, my God! How can he do that?" He might be feeling this way, "I was feeling sorry as the parent to have to see my child bleeding. I couldn't help him because of some reasons, but as I see him thanking for what I did not do. I feel so bad.

Imagine if someone thanks you so much for something you didn't do. How would you feel? You may feel indebted.

Thus, at least you can catch His attention because not many people do this to him. When you get His attention, His heart will get attracted to you, then you will get Heavenly Fortune.

So, you will not lose, but will gain.
