Although it might be more common to hear "Thank God It's Friday" (TGIF) as the end of the work week rolls around, users on Twitter have been thanking God for much more, sending the phrase "Thank God" onto the social network's Trends list.

Users logging on to Twitter Friday have been tweeting their praise to God for their families, well being, for getting them through another week, and more.

"God is so awesome in my life and I can never praise Him enough!!! Thank you God for all you do," wrote Kymme A (@blackruby83).

Dayton Helmuth (@TI_DaytonJerks) not only thanked God, but offered a bit of advice: "Thank god anytime you can he has blessed you so much... PRAY when you can also," he wrote.

One Twitter user, DJ AGE (@DJAGE) was also apparently trying to start another trend to bring attention to God.

"Thank you God for letting me see another day," he wrote, adding the hashtag "#GodIsGood."
