gratitude

Whenever I’m feeling down, depressed, or a little “off”, I find it helpful to spend some time thinking about all the reasons I have to be thankful— for the many ways that God has blessed me. Some call this a “gratitude list”. Almost without fail, making my gratitude list reorients my perspective and resets my emotions, lifting my thoughts away from my current circumstances and toward God, my Father, who loves me and helps me.
