It is the Father’s will that you be thankful in all circumstances no matter what those circumstances may be, that’s because He has the ability to take all the elements of your circumstances, the good and the bad, and work them together to bring about not just a good resolution but the best resolution.
Romans 8:28 (NLT)
And we know that God causes
everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called
according to his purpose for them.
How great is that? Shouldn’t you be grateful for that?
Remember that the Father designed good plans for your life
even before He formed you in your mothers’ womb, so know that He can do all
things and that no plan of His can be thwarted.
Jeremiah 1:5 (NLT)
I knew you before I formed
you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart
Job 42:2 (MSG)
I’m convinced: You can do
anything and everything. Nothing and no one can upset your plans.
How great is that? Shouldn’t you be grateful for that?
Father, I thank You for designing an amazing plan for my
life even before You knit me together in my mommy’s womb. This shows me that
You can indeed do all things, You have already established Your plans for me
and that’s why no-one and nothing can thwart those plans. Thank You Father.
Amen.
The thing is, all of us have been raised by our parents and
society to be independent but our heavenly Father desires that each of us be
totally dependent on Him. It’s a difficult transition, yet it is a necessary
one if you want to remain afloat, especially during challenging times. He longs
for you to cast all your cares on Him; He will sustain you and never let you
fall.
Psalm 55:22 (AMP)
Cast your burden on the Lord [release
it] and He will sustain and uphold you; He will never allow the
righteous to be shaken (slip, fall, fail).
How great is that? Shouldn’t you be grateful for that?
Father, I thank You that I can cast all my cares on You
and You will sustain me; I thank You that no matter what You will never let me
fall. Amen.
Beloved, from today, stop your endless striving and, with
gratitude, commit everything to the Father. Even now, just because it is your
intention to commit, He is already aligning all things in their proper order
and putting all the right people in place for the incredible outcome.
Proverbs 16:3 (AMP)
Commit your works to
the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], And your plans will succeed
[if you respond to His will and guidance].
How great is that? Shouldn’t you be grateful for that?
