DAY 1 – Shift Your Focus with Gratitude
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” – 1Thessalonians 5:18, NIV
It’s easy to give thanks when your day is going well.
But what about those moments when things aren’t going so well?
In moments like these, giving thanks is difficult. But giving thanks is also essential if you want to navigate these experiences with a positive outlook.
This doesn’t mean being phony or pasting on a smile no matter what.
Rather, it’s about taking a moment to shift your focus.
Choose to turn the uncomfortable moments in life into thankfulness.
PRAYER: Lord, when I’m tempted to complain and grumble, help me to stop and shift my focus. I want to be someone who lives in continual gratitude. Let me never lose sight of the blessings You’ve poured out on me. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!
