Everyday gratefulness

Today’s post is the fourth in the ongoing Thankfulness series at Hebrews12endurance. Meredith Curtis shares with us her journey of cultivating gratefulness everyday in her life that is filled with both blessings and challenges.

Isn’t it the case for us all? Each life with its own share of ‘blessings and challenges’.

“When I count my blessings, I feel thankful and happy inside. I am aware of how much the Lord has given me and want to praise Him for every blessing.

When I focus on my trials, I feel so isolated. I feel like I have a heavier load than anyone and I feel sorry for myself.

Should I pretend the hard things don’t exist? No, not at all. However, I don’t need to dwell on them.

Instead, I can pour my heart out to Jesus, casting all my anxiety on Him because He cares for me. When I pray about my challenges, I feel strength rising up in me as I lay those burdens at His feet.”
