Thanking God for Who He Is
This is not about thanking God for the crisis. This is about thanking God for who he is in our crisis. We thank him for his love. We thank him for his promises. We thank him for bringing us through difficult circumstances before.
Praising God Changes Our Perspective
Why is this important? Because thanking and praising God changes our perspective. When we remember that he loves us, when we recall that he is for us, not against us, when we think about the many promises he has made, and when we consider just how many crises, he has brought us through before, when we show God how grateful we are for everything, then suddenly our crisis begins to look a little smaller. Or, at the very least, we remember that our God is much bigger than any crisis we face.
How to be Grateful to God for Everything
Our God is a faithful God. He will continue to love, lead and guide us through whatever crisis we face. He won’t abandon us. We simply have to trust him. How to be grateful to God for everything? Well, when we pray to him, thanking and praising him for who he is, it shows God we trust him. How could you show God you trust him today?
