I wake up each morning with a heart full of gratitude, for the Lord has blessed me abundantly beyond what I could ask for or imagine. I find strength when I cultivate a heart of thanksgiving so that I can be more and more firm in my faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. Faith comes by hearing the good news of Christ Jesus.
I choose to not give God credit for the works of the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. And I treat all hardship as discipline, knowing He will work all things together for good. I cast all my cares on Him because He cares for me. And I am never lacking in zeal, but keep I keep my spiritual fervour serving the Lord. I am joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. I don’t worry about anything, but I pray about everything and thank Him in all things, knowing that’s His will for me.
I know how to turn my hurt into hope. I trust in the Lord with all my heart and don’t lean on my own understanding. In all my ways, I acknowledge Him and He makes my path straight. The God of all hope fills me with peace and joy as I trust in Him, so that I overflow with hope by the power of Holy Spirit.
I know how to renew my strength. As I wait on the Lord, He renews my strength. Sometimes I rise on wings as eagles, sometimes I run and do not grow weary, sometimes I walk and do not faint. I am confident I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, so I am strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. I am still and know He is God.
I know how to exchange my problems for His peace. With thanksgiving I enter His gates and with praise I enter His courts. I tell Him what I need and I thank Him for what He’s done. Because He cares for me, I cast my cares on Him. I don’t fear because He is with me. I am not dismayed because He is God. He strengthens me and helps me and upholds me with His righteous right hand.
Today, I know gratitude is a powerful force that strengthens my faith for the long haul of life. It allows me to appreciate God’s blessings, to trust He works all things together for the good, and to find peace amidst life’s challenges. With a heart filled with gratitude, I can stand firm in my faith and face the reality of my day-to-day of every day with all the grace, hope, and joy He provides.
