How to Have a Grace-full Thanksgiving
Thankfulness can be such a powerful thing, but sometimes it’s hard to come by. Discouragement and the trials of life can leave us wondering how in the world we can find any sincere way to be thankful in the midst of the difficulties we are experiencing. But as ironic as it seems, being thankful is powerful and can bring relief during hard times.
As humans, we are only able to see things from a very small perspective. God, however, sees from above which gives Him a grand view. Our little perspective makes it difficult to find those moments of hope when times are hard. And unfortunately, we have an enemy who does everything he can to turn our focus to all the wrong places.
But because of Jesus in us, we can overcome the wrong perspectives and find the hidden treasures God has for us. We can reach down into the power of a thankful heart.

7 Verses to Pray When You Lack Confidence
Have you ever felt inadequate or suffer from a lack of confidence? Me too, more times that I’d like to admit. There are so many reasons behind it, and they are different for each one of us. And I believe I’m not alone. We all suffer from a lack of confidence at one time or another.
One particular situation where a lack of confidence may especially be an issue is when you feel God calling you to do something. These are going to be the times when Satan will attack the hardest, filling your mind with lies to try to convince you that you are not the right person for the job.
Friends, we’ve got to fight hard to overcome those kinds of attacks. They’ll bring us down if we don’t call on the Holy Spirit in us to do the fighting for us.
