You may have had an awful day today, but the secret weapon for when things get tough - is to Thank God! If you will begin to thank Him no matter what is happening in your life, then you will soon feel better about life. Thanking God sometimes is not as easy as it sounds, especially when things are difficult. When things are difficult that is exactly when we need to thank Him the most!
When things are tough, - your family and friends hurt your feelings, people don't understand you, thank God. Sit down and make a list of all the good things God have done for you. Start with life itself. Every breath you take is a gift from God. Thank Him for being born - it's a miracle. After thanking God for life, you can begin to thank Him for the world, colors, animals, music, humor, water......
Finally, think back on your life and thank God for the things He have done for you personally - like showing you how much He love you. Once you count all your blessings, then will you be able to put your current situation into perspective. You will see that life is not so bad, even if you had a awful day.
His mercies never come to an end; they are new EVERY MORNING ; great is they faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
