Take a moment and think of 5 things you are thankful for... How does this make you feel? Well for me, it makes me feel abundantly blessed by our Lord, and it also fills my spirit with love and joy! In Joyce Meyer's  book, "Power Thoughts" (which, by the way, I greatly reccomend), she says, "One of the main thought patterns that causes discontentment is focusing on what we don't have and what people are not doing for us... when we get ourselves and our needs and desires off of our minds, life always looks brighter." Like she says, whenever I think about how much I am blessed and how I can bless others, my mind is happier than it is when I am down and concentrating on what I don't have!
 2 Peter 1:2-3 says, "Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness."
 So God has and will provide all we need for His children! He wants to bless us, and He wants our spirits to be filled with joy, so don't concentrate on what you don't have! Instead, be thankful for what you do have, and thank God for all His blessings! :) Trust in Him for your needs, because worrying about them won't produce anything fruitful. Luke 12:25 says, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" When God sees your blossoming trust and faith in Him, He will bless you abundantly! He loves to see His children put there trust and faith in Him for everything!
 So today, don't let your spirit slip to worrying and thinking about what you don't have, but keep your mind on what you are thankful for and how God has blessed you! :)
