Rejoice in the Lord always delight, gladden yourselves in Him; again I say, Rejoice! Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness..
— Philippians 4:4-6
You need to develop an “attitude of gratitude.” This doesn’t mean you should live with your heads in the clouds and pretend nothing negative exists. It simply means you make it your goal in life to be as positive as possible.
Go to bed tonight pondering everything you have to be thankful for. Do the same first thing tomorrow morning. Thank God for everything—a convenient parking place; the fact you can walk, see, or hear; your children. Don’t become discouraged with yourself when you fall short, and don’t quit. Keep at it until you have developed new habits.
Father, I have so much to thank You for, but mostly, I thank You for saving me and for being with me all the time. I love You, amen.
