give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In seasons of great difficulty or change, you might wonder, "What is God's will for my life?"
It's a commonly asked question when the future seems uncertain. But did you know you can be content in times of uncertainty by shifting your focus from what you don't know to what you do know?
You can start by asking yourself, "Amid all this difficulty, what am I thankful for?"
When circumstances change, it's easy to get caught up in listing everything going wrong.
You quickly see a mounting list of people who treat you poorly, things that don't go your way, and roadblocks that keep you from where you want to be.
Take a moment to think of things you are thankful for today. A grateful heart is like a water tap; once you turn on the faucet, thankfulness, like the water, will continually flow. Before you know it, you will have a long list, no matter what else is going on around you.
In gratitude, you'll find that your vision for your future is secure as your heart aligns with God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
