Increase my Thankfulness

"Give thanks in all circumstances; this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5, 18.

Dear Lord, please increase my thankfulness.

Help me to open my heart to You

so I could seek You in the midst of my circumstances.

Open my eyes to see the signs of Your unseen presence in my life.

Allow me to find You in myriad tiny details

as well as in the big picture of my life.

Grant me to notice all my blessings - small and large -

and to always thank You for them.

Thank You so much for Your unfailing Love.

Amen.

Specially the chapter " God's Heart for Single Women " made me realize that I shouldn't feel sad or ashamed, being single now is God's will. God wants that I wait a little more, and as Mandy

Prayer Replaces Worry

"N ever worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shot through with gratitude, and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

And worry is damaging, it consumes our mind it divides our attention, it decreases our productivity and it actually negatively impacts our health. If you are an over-thinker like me, prayer is the most helpful thing you can do. Over thinking can be detrimental to our performance, and lead to anxiety and depression.
