Thankfulness & Praise to God

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:1-2

When things left undone and problems not yet resolved occupy your thoughts too much, they can distract you from seeing the blessings in your circumstances.
God is working behind the scenes constantly, even in what looks like chaos.
It's all in how you view it.
It's amazing what happens when you begin to see God in every situation and to thank Him for it. It transforms your heart.
Even if you can't see progress, thank God for what He is going to do.
Praise Him for how He's growing you, building your character, and helping you refocus your life on what's valuable in the long run.
It's like viewing life through God-colored glasses.

When you begin to view life in thankfulness to God, you find that your attitude will soon be one of grateful appreciation for everything around you.... including the frustrations and the miracles.

I come to your altar, Lord. I raise my voice in praise and tell of all the miracles you have done. Psalm 26:6b-7
