Every blessing turn back to praise

at bible study last night my small group talked about remembering to praise God after he answers your prayer and how easy it is to pray and pray when you want something but then how frequently we forget to praise him when he answers us. as i was driving to work this morning i heard a song on my favorite radio station KLOVE, i know, the ultimate in mom music, and part of the lyrics were "every blessing turn back to praise" and that totally resounded with me and what's been going down in my life. i want my lips to constantly be praising God because i am blessed so abundantly.
keeping a daily journal where i record what i am seeking God about really helps me to look back and go WOW, God answered that prayer request so specifically and so fast and then i can't help but praise him over and over. but then i wonder if that attitude should be adjusted, because honestly i am still surprised when God responds to me, and i don't wait expectantly with confidence in my all powerful God, i sometimes come before him in prayer thinking, well, it can't hurt...
i want God to be my total air supply, growing more dependent on him every day
