Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. - Colossians 4:2 NLT
When you focus on the things you don't have you begin to undervalue the blessings God has given you. This allows feelings of resentment and being shortchanged to build up. It can happen in our prayers when we only make requests. Take a moment today to think about how you have been blessed whether it is financially, through health, a word of encouragement, employment, warmth, food, family, etc. Don't look at a glass half empty and wish it were full, be grateful you have a glass to begin with. When you realize how blessed you are, you truly feel loved by God!
