Cultivate an attitude of gratitude – of being thankful ‘in’ every circumstance & your stress will lessen & you will be joyful & peaceful..
Thank God in all things. When you pray, do it with thanksgiving..
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..
Read what Prophet Habakkuk says about rejoicing even when situations are bad..
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to tread upon the heights.
(Habakkuk 3:17-19)
Worrying does not change your circumstances, but faith and thanksgiving does..
Instead of worrying, use your time to pray, speaking God’s Word to Him. If you prayed as much as you worried, you’d have a lot less to worry about and God promised you in Matthew 6:33 that if you sought His kingdom first, He’d add everything unto you. Take Him at His Word. He does not lie & is faithful to His promise..
“Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.……”(Psalm 107:8-9)
