As Christians We Should Develop A Thankful Attitude
At times we spend a lot of time worrying about all the things that are going wrong
in our lives and in the process we forget to take the time to thank God for all the great things that are going right in our lives. We have so many things to be thankful for and yet we choose to spend much of our time focusing on the negative. We focus so much on the challenges that life has thrown our way and don't pay any attention to the many blessings.
As children of God it is important for us to get into the habit of thanking God for every situation in our lives. We have to cultivate a thankful spirit through all the good and bad times. We must remember that all the trials and tribulations that we may be facing are just a test of our faith. Without thankfulness in our hearts we will live in perpetual spiritual defeat. A thankful heart is the key to having peace of mind.
The fact that we were able to wake up this morning in good health is in it self a reason to celebrate and give thanks to God. So many people would have loved to have lived to see this day, but they didn't. So many people are lying helpless in the hospital and would give anything to be able to take our place today. So just remember to take a little time out of your busy schedule to thank God for the many blessings that he is constantly showering you with from day to day, no matter how big or small they may seem.
PRAYER:
Lord I thank you for this day, and I thank you for always being there for me.
Lord today I choose to submit to your will and to find joy in you.
Lord free me from any kind of captivity in my life,
And destroy all the evil plans that the enemy may have against me.
Lord you're my shield, and my protector.
Lord you're the only one that I can depend on.
Lord I look up to you to give me strength to face my challenges.
Lord I ask you to fill my heart with happiness and peace.
Help me Lord to live according to you will.
Lord help me to have a thankful heart regardless of my situation,
I trust you Lord to help me live my life positively.
Lord, take away any selfish desires and ungratefulness from my heart,
