Gratitude and praise will replace worry, doubt and disappointment

Jan30

Gratitude and praise will replace worry, doubt and discontentment: 

Today I am thankful, Lord, for your faithfulness. I am thankful that your mercies are new every morning. I am thankful that by setting my mind on You, I can overcome feelings of discontentment, anxiety, worry and doubt. 

Even though I fail I can still hold my head up because I am your child and you make all things new. You have a plan for me to prosper me and not to harm me to give me a hope and a future. 

I thank you that you will direct my steps because I trust in you and acknowledge you in my plans. 

 I thank you that through the renewing of my mind I can be changed. I believe that all things will work out for good because I love you and have been called according to your purpose.  

I will praise you for you are the Creator, Maker of heaven and earth and you will provide for all of my needs.  Nothing is impossible for you. Despite my limitations You are not limited. 

You are a good father and better than an earthly father. You love to give good gifts.  

I am thankful that when you look at me you don’t see the flaws or the mistakes but you see me as perfect since I stand on the promises of Christ and His sacrifice on my behalf. You are faithful to see me as forgiven. 

Some days it’s hard to overcome that restless, boring, blah feeling. I am thankful that today it was those feelings that brought me to you.  

I choose to be thankful. I wait expectantly for you.  

Amen
