Psalm 92: 1-2 - It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night.
It is not uncommon to compile wish lists at Christmas, & draw up a shopping list. But there is another list we often overlook - a prayer list of all things for which we are to be thankful.
Thanklessness promotes depression and feelings of hopelessness because we become focused on our problems rather than on the Lord. Being thankful is an easy way to focus on the Lord.
Gratitude is not a feeling that dictates your choices; it is a choice that affects your feelings.
