I am currently using a daily devotional called "Men Of Integrity". It tackles issues that we men face in our every day lives.
One of the devotionals last week dealt with being thankful in everything that happens in our daily lives, both good and bad, positive or negative. The writer challenges the reader to devote 21 days to praying the following prayer at the beginning of each day.
"Heavenly Father, you're in charge of everything that's going to happen to me today--whether it be good or bad, positive or negative. Please make me thankful for everything that happens to me today. Amen."
Praying this prayer for the next 21 days won't change anything on the outside, but it should change how I feel on the inside. Circumstances won't change, but hopefully my attitude towards them will.
Ecclesiastes 5:19b says "To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life--that indeed is a gift from God."
I'm going to give this a try. Will you?
