As I walked through the process of transitioning to a new state, I had a long list of prayers and things I needed God to do for me and my family.
So, during my prayer walk, I kinda got this gentle feeling from God telling me to forget about my to-do list and spend my lunch break thanking Him. I thanked Him for who He is, for my life so far, for what's happening now and what's to come, and for all the good things He's given to my family and friends.
God wanted me to stop focusing on what I lacked and start remembering and concentrating on all the things he had already accomplished in my life.
After an hour of gratitude, I felt lighter and encouraged. It put me in remembrance of Gods faithfulness.
That's the power of gratitude.
SCRIPTURES
PSALM 100:4-5 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
PSALM 103:2-Let all that I am praise the Lord: may I never forget the good he does for me.
PRAYER
Dear God, I am grateful for your constant presence, especially during difficult times. Thank you for the gift of life and for your continuous blessings in the past, present, and future. Guide me to always focus on you and never lose sight of your goodness towards me. AMEN
REPEAT THIS TODAY
Thank you, God, for the miracles and blessings in the present and for those that are yet to come, knowing that you always have my best interest at heart.
TAKE ACTION
What are you grateful for? I encourage you to take some time and reflect on the ways God has been faithful to you.
Take a day and don't ask God for anything but take the whole day (or week) and tell God thank you for what he's already done. And be specific -write it down if you need to but switch your focus because God deserves all the thank You’s & the praise.
