“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
Colossians 3:17
“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18

God has a will and so do I. When mine is in conflict with His, I can get along for a while but eventually I begin to face problems and challenges that I am incapable of solving. I am so grateful that there is a very simple way that I can immediately find my way back to Him in every situation, no matter how complex it may appear. All I have to do is surrender everything to Him and be grateful. Something miraculous happens when I stop what I am doing and focus my attention on the Lord and express my appreciation for what He has done in my life. I have so much for which I can give thanks and I will never exhaust the list. Even when there are negative situations taking place in my life, I can do His will by simply being thankful. The conditions don’t necessarily change but the miracle takes place inside of me because I am focusing my attention on His faithfulness. Every negative thought that I had evaporates and my heart is filled to overflowing with His joy and peace. I thank God for His guidance.
