+Don’t let your feelings and experience call the shots. Lead your feelings by reminding your heart of reasons to be thankful.
+Because we don’t always feel grateful or desire to give thanks, intentionality is important. We tune our hearts by retraining its habits.
+A life of grumbling doesn’t go away at once, but by committing yourself to daily practices of thanksgiving, gratitude chips away our complaining spirit.
+Over time, practicing giving thanks turns into a habit, which forms in us a posture of gratitude rather than grumbling.
+Don’t get discouraged if this feels difficult at first. Like any training exercise, starting and keeping it up early is the hardest part.
+There’s no one-size-fits-all plan for thanksgiving, so choose what works for you. But the key is to be intentional.
+Cultivate a posture of gratitude to God by choosing to practice thanksgiving to God every day. ๐
๐ God, at all times, let Your will be done in me. I know this isn't an easy thing to say. I know that following You requires accepting struggles that are beyond my control.
+But I also know that Your plans are good, and I want to take part in those plans. So today, I surrender. Teach me Your will. In Jesus' name, Amen. ☝️๐๐ป๐ช๐ค
