Sometimes in life it is a sacrifice to turn our attention towards God in thankfulness and praise. However, Psalm 100 tells us it’s through thankful declarations that we can press through any circumstance and enter His presence where fullness of joy is found. And surprise, science agrees with God! It’s been proven that those who have a grateful attitude enjoy an increased feelings of happiness and hopefulness.  

Scripture Reference: Psalm 100
"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
     Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
 Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations."
