“Father, I thank Thee.” John 11:41
Thank God it is Friday, and tomorrow thank God it’s Saturday, and so on. If you don’t think that every day is a good day, just try missing one. The greatest gift of God is that we are alive.
A person recently said to me, “I don’t want to be a survivor; I want to be a thriver!” I’ve always found it easier to preach 10 sermons than to live one. but living a sermon is what is important for the person delivering it, and the person hearing it. Thriving and happiness in life come by living in a constant state of thankfulness to God. So many miss living because they are trapped within cynicism, negativity, and critical outlooks on their life.
The story of Jesus stilling the storm reminds us of the importance of calmness and trust in the midst of turmoil. Recall that Jesus was sleeping in the stern of the boat when the fearful disciples awakened Him to restore tranquility to the stormy situation.
Connected to God you remain positive even in the midst of a storm in your life. Centered and poised with God you are thankful in advance of positive outcomes. With confidence you establish order and balance in chaotic situations around you. Calm and tranquil thoughts focus the power of God’s love to flow through you in overflowing thanksgiving.
William James said, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that the human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.”
We have to become willing to become what we are praying for.
The vitamin for Christians is B-1!
We must not view Christianity from the sidelines as we watch a Superbowl game. To be successful in life, you do not just attend church; you decide to get INTO the game.
The best way to get in the game and adjust your attitude is by spending a day in thanksgiving to God.
Preface every prayer with thanksgiving. Thankfulness, before you see visible results turns the prayer of hope into the prayer of fulfillment.
Jesus taught us this with His prayer, “Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.” Then, regardless of appearances, give thanks that a miracle work is being done through God’s movement.
Give thanks for the assurance that you are always safe and secure in God’s loving care. Give thanks that you are guided by God, that you know what to do and that your way is clear before you. Calmness is the quality of spirit you express today as you express your ability to monitor your thoughts, to stay calm. You are calm because your awareness of God’s presence and thanksgiving of that is becoming a permanent state of mind.
POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:
Thank You God that I am blessed with the love of life and always kept in the stream of happy and worthwhile living. I do not sit and wait for life to come to me; I joyously meet each day with eagerness and great anticipation.
I love life, and my constant state of thankfulness draws me into the stream of abundant living. I do not let life pass me by. I enter into life with all my mind and heart focused on what is right and good. Every day is a wonderful and a rewarding experience. I thank God because I am blessed with the joy of living. I appreciate life and I appreciate God’s gifts to me including life itself. I know that I can never be separated from life, that I am always in the midst of life eternal. In this state of daily thanksgiving, I am deeply aware of God’s presence and I am filled with the strength of joy. I am thankful for the windows of heaven opening in my life. “Prove me right now, said the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out of blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” I prove my faith in life through my constant thankfulness. I am not afraid to be thankful or to express thanksgiving. I have an inner feeling of childlike joy.
In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen
