Replacing Worry with Gratitude
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
—Philippians 4:5-7
It's so easy to be caught up in all the bad news and forget all of our many blessings. Instead, let's take this moment to break the cycle of worry and focus on thanksgiving.
Our Prayer
Our Father in Heaven,
Help me to cultivate a heart of gratitude. Let me recognize the abundant blessings you have provided, both big and small. May I not take these gifts for granted but instead be mindful of the grace that flows from your loving hand. I am thankful for the gift of life, for the love of family and friends, for the opportunities and challenges that have shaped me, and for your unwavering presence in my life.
Lord, as I strive to release worry and embrace gratitude, grant me the strength to let go of fear and doubt. Replace my anxiety with a deep sense of trust in your divine plan.
Amen.
