Thank You, Holy Spirit

Do this at the beginning of each day to begin with the right mindset: thank God for what He’s done and what He is doing in your life. I know this may seem like simple or even generic advice, but there’s great power in framing your mind to be grateful. Far too many believers drag themselves into an ungodly mindset by obsessing over everything that’s going wrong, everything that’s delayed, everything that’s turning out differently than they had hoped. 

Of course, I’m not saying that we should be naive and pretend that life doesn’t have its challenges. Rather, I’m saying that by focusing instead on what you’re thankful for, you condition yourself to enjoy every season of life, even the challenging seasons. Every season has both good and bad. So it’s really your choice. You can live your life focused on the negative or thankful for the positive.

Now, you may be saying, “But I have nothing for which I can be thankful; everything in my life is falling apart.” But here’s what the Bible says:

“Be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.’" - Hebrews 13:5 (NLT)

We can be satisfied with what we have, because no matter what, we always have the presence of the precious Holy Spirit. So from now on, as you begin your day, say “Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your presence.”
