Rahhhhhhhhhhhh! Why do we {I} allow ourselves {myself} to get so distracted by the WORLD? If we recognized and praised God for everything single thing He has blessed us with every single day, we would never get off of our knees. Yet, here we are, standing in our own strength and will, with eyes on everything but God and His goodness.
Our eyes are locked on everything that brings us fear, worry, and discontent…
…instead of the One who gives us assurance, peace, and contentment.
Why?
Yes, we are only human, but we cannot keep using this as an excuse to keep from trying to be better.
Having and showing gratitude has to be our top priority.
Being grateful will completely change our perspectives.
Therefore, being grateful will completely change our lives.
Refuse to complain about your day even if it is raining outside, you are drowning in a new semester of classes, and you spill an entire bowl of lucky charms in your lap in the dining hall. {True story :’)}
{Group prayer time!}
Pray that God gives every person who reads this the strength and wisdom to find His goodness in the midst of life’s daily chaos.
XOXO,
Cat
