No it doesn't. God isn't "the guy who made my cheeseburger." I can't control whether he does it right or not but it's not God.

Try not to see things too black-and-white. "God" isn't the guy who made your cheeseburger. The cheeseburger guy will have a great degree of control over himself, and you have some minor degree of control over him, but you both depend on a lot more than yourselves for that cheeseburger to happen. It's everything that's there, everything that's happened, and everything you're taking for granted. The point of being thankful is to not take your good fortunes for granted.
