An Attitude of Gratitude

One of the groups I'm part of on Facebook is an accountability group with some Christian Ladies.  The group formed about 7-8 years ago and it has been a great group of friends.  I only know one in real life - the rest I've met through the group and we have all walked different roads together.  One of the ladies recently shared this and it is spot on so I thought I'd share it here as well.  It is a great reminder - Gratitude is really a mind-changer; a life changer; an attitude changer! 

 "Change my attitude, with GRATITUDE! The Lord has been dealing with me on the subject of being grateful/ thankful.

Philippians 4:6-8 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things."

We have the power through the word, the name the blood and our testimony to change our surroundings, relationships and even world situations by declaring the promises of God. Who wants to join me in a daily challenge of declaring the word over our lives and seeing the hand of God move?

What scripture(s) do you use to declare over yourself, family or others?"

I love those verses! What a list of things to meditate on! Do you realize that if we spent more time (or all of our time) meditating on that list of GOOD things we wouldn't have time to grumble and complain? Or that we can lay all of those requests; desires; hurts; questions at the feet of God and he will give us peace through him? Wow. What a great set of truths to dwell on this week.
