HabitFast Journey-Day 15-Grateful Heart

One act of thanksgiving when things go wrong is worth a thousand thanks when things go right.

— John of Avila —

HABIT

Read and reflect on the quote above.  How often do you thank Him when things go wrong?

 

Having an attitude of gratitude (being grateful in ALL situations) is a peaceful way to be.  I have found the level of my gratitude to be inversely proportionate to my need to seek approval, security and control in, of and through other people, places and things.  The more I seek comfort from external sources the less grateful I am.

If this HabitFast has been challenging and uncomfortable for you, take some time to thank Him for the ability to feel uncomfortable and challenged with such minor stuff as there are others involved in much bigger challenges they had no choice over.

HabitFast Journey Action Steps:

1.  Start the day-reflect, meditate, journal and prayerfully turn your plan over to God.

2.  Continue the day- stay in conscience contact with God.

3.  End of day evaluation- reflect, review, journal and give yourself a grade for the day.

4.  End of day planning-review your HabitFast Plan and note your 3 “big rocks” for tomorrow.

5.  End of day prayer-place your plan, big rocks, negative triggers and tomorrow in God’s hands.

1 Thessalonians 5:18, “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”  (NIV)
