BE THANKFUL

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6

Don’t worry about anything. Worrying doesn’t change anything. There’s no such things as born-worriers; worry is a learned response. You learned it from your parents. You learned it from your peers. You learned it from experience. That’s good news: The fact that worry is learned means it can also be unlearned. Pray about everything. Use the time you’ve been worrying for praying. If you prayed as much as you worried, you’d have a lot less to worry about. Take any problem you face to God.

Thank God in all things. You should always pray with thanksgiving. One of the healthiest human emotion is gratitude. It actually increases your immunities; it makes you more resistant to stress and less susceptible to illness. People who are grateful are happy. But people who are ungrateful are miserable because nothing makes them happy. They’re never satisfied; it’s never good enough. So if you cultivate the attitude of gratitude, of being thankful in everything, it reduces stress in your life.

Think about the right things. If you want to reduce the level of stress in your life, you must change the way you think; the way you think determines how you feel. And the way you feel determines how you act. So if you want to change your life, you need to change what you’re thinking about.

When we no longer worry, when we pray about everything, when we give thanks, when we focus on the right things, the Apostle Paul tells us the result is, “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Prayer: Bind and cast out the spirit of fear and anxiety from your heart, and thank God for all His numerous blessings in your life.
