Last week I was talking about the power of thankfulness and the impact it has on our life – physically, relationally, emotionally, and spiritually. I mentioned the Apostle Paul as a beautiful example of one who continuously gave thanks to God right in the middle of his suffering, and the supernatural results he experienced because of that thankfulness.
He was bound with chains in a dark prison cell. And he began to sing songs of worship to God. Boy, how I would have loved to have heard those songs. Wouldn’t you? Regardless of his present circumstances, Paul was expressing his trust and faith in an awesome and worship-worthy God.
When you are suffering, it may be hard to find your “thankfulness.” And you might ask, “why on earth do I even need to? Can’t I just have a minute here to be really sad?” Well, yes. Do that. But don’t stay stuck there.
Thankfulness lowers feelings of depression and anxiety, bolsters resiliency, fosters higher self-esteem, and supports physical health and well-being.
