Life can get overwhelming. We are easily discouraged or burned out when things are beyond our control. How do you turn your gaze away from the challenges and turn to God?
One of the best ways is to describe past and current blessings.
In this devotional, we learn how cultivating gratitude can be a great remedy for dealing with our fears, insecurities, and doubts. Hear more in the devotional podcast from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
