I choose to be grateful

Today I choose to be grateful. 

In every situation I face, I will have a grateful attitude because I choose to focus on my blessings rather than on my problems and constraints. No matter how dark the day may get and the rain falls, I embrace thankfulness.

I am grateful because when the rain comes it brings forth new life into the earth. In the same way, the challenges I face may seem overwhelming, but those trials work for my good.

In any situation I face, I rejoice, because I know that joy will come in the morning. I trust that my life is in the hands of my Almighty Father, and as the trials come, so will the solutions. I feel honored when I think that my Father believes I am strong enough to handle the challenges that I face.

I walk in humility which allows me to be grateful. Sometimes, it may seem that my blessings are the result of my hard work or that I am entitled to them. However, in reality, it’s only by God's grace and mercy that I am blessed.

I cultivate gratitude within myself because there are people worse off than me. Regardless of what happens, compassion for others always helps me remember my many blessings.

Today, I choose to be content in whatever circumstances I may find myself,  because I know that a Godly outlook can soothe a difficult situation, but an attitude of complaint only makes things more challenging. I give thanks in everything because I am truly blessed.
