The past couple of days have been challenging. I had problems with my septic tank, along with trying to keep up with prayer requests and counseling. I started to feel overwhelmed, and the temptation to complain was present especially today.
But I had to catch up and remind myself to be thankful in these challenging times. I remembered this passage:
In everything, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
When I remembered and meditated on this verse, the feelings of stress left, and I experienced a calm. I realized that everything means all that concerns me and that I should be thankful. I reminded myself that God had already fixed my problem. I realized He allowed me to have the finances to get my septic tank repaired, time to pray and look forward to counseling in a few days.
So this post is a reminder: Give Thanks.
Thank you, Lord, for all you do. Amen.
