Overcoming My Circumstances

When it comes to life, you can find yourself asking "How can I possibly be thankful when my circumstances are difficult?" Being thankful can seem extremely difficult when circumstances within your own home, your own heart, and your own head are contrary to the happiness that you want to be having. Even in the news, it is tough to be thankful when one news report after another is filled with some tragedy.

Circumstances are certainly an obstacle in this life, but being thankful is vital to our overall health, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

God designed us to be thankful people. Though you may think “I need to have perfect circumstances to be thankful,” perfect circumstances are not going to happen until you arrive in heaven.

How then can you be thankful when going through the obstacle course of our circumstances? We look to God’s Word for the answer.
