Thankful but...

These are words I admit have come out of my mouth many times in my Christian walk. God provides but it's not necessarily what we had in mind or we think we know better.  The Lord spoke to me about his over the past couple of weeks. I will say thank you for something, and then I will add a plea at the end in the form of a "but...".  ex:  Lord thank you for providing SHOP with a building for us to meet, but...it's not easy, there are SO many sound issues, the stage is high, the kids area is in the basement...and I go on and on grumbling and complaining as if the Lord does not know what we need.
Then I heard him say:

"the fact that you are adding a "but" when you say you are thankful; tells me that you are not really thankful. Do I not know what you need? Do I not know that it's not always easy? Will I not provide through your perserverance? Just be thankful, period. I will reward a thankful heart."

This changed my thinking a little bit, of course I knew this in my head, but unbelief and impatience sets in and I find myself saying I'm thankful but really not trusting Him.
Lord thank you that you want this more than I do, thank you that we are not left without a building! Thank you that we can encounter you and that you sent your Spirit fill me in my inner man! You are good and your love endures forever!
