Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little catchphrase, something to think about one day a year on the Thanksgiving holiday, or is it a way of facing each day that changes our perspective on life?
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NLT)

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19 NIV)

Why give thanks while still facing challenges? That’s how we acknowledge the truth that God is our provider and that everything we have comes from Him. That’s how we remind and encourage our hearts that God truly is with us and we do not face our problems alone.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT)
Believing and acting on these truths, with an attitude of gratitude, will eliminate fear and produce stability and security in our lives.
Prayer: Heavenly Father Thank you for all that you do for me. Thank you for providing my daily needs of food, clothing, and shelter. Thank you for fighting battles on my behalf and helping me stand firm on your word. Thank you for giving me clean hands and a pure heart. Thank you for strengthening me to be a person of character and dependability. You have truly blessed me to be a blessing. Amen
