A Prayer for Perspective
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love… And help us to be slow to judge and quick to forgive, ready to share your patience, your empathy and your love.

Faithful Stewards
Do you realize there is nothing in your life you did not receive from God? Do you know that you are to faithfully manage everything you have received from God? Are you willing to erase the line between what is yours and what is God’s? How will you be spending the time and money that God has entrusted to your stewardship?
I am Thanking You Now
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves… I am thanking You now.
Gladly!
For the Christian, thanksgiving is not just a day but a way of life.
The Therapy of Thanksgiving
We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can control the way we respond to them. Respond with thanksgiving.
The Gates of Thanksgiving
Start thanking God for every good thing you can think of for which you are grateful until you discover, in the presence of God, that the good stuff outweighs the bad stuff and things are not as bad as you thought they were.
Again Lord…
Lord strengthen me so I will not disappoint You… again
Pressed Close to God
Our afflictions are designed not to break us, but to bend us toward God.
How do you see things?
Jesus taught that if our eye, or the way we see things, is healthy, then our life can be filled with happiness. But if the way we see things, if our outlook or mindset is messed up, there is no end to how dark our life can be.
Man of Contrasts
He who is the Bread of Life began His ministry hungering. He who is the Water of Life ended His ministry thirsting. Christ hungered as a man, yet fed the hungry as God. He was weary, yet He is our rest. He paid tribute, yet He is the King. He was called a devil, but He cast out demons. He prayed, yet He hears prayer. He wept, and He dries our tears. He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet He redeems sinners. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd. He gave His life, and by dying He destroyed death.
