This means counting my blessings / developing a thankful attitude: Ephesians 5 : 18 - 20.
This means being thankful all day long. One of the easiest ways to do this is to keep a song to the Lord going inside you all the time. Ask the Lord to help you to wake up in the morning with a positive song singing inside you.
If you have been accustomed to being a negative and self-condemning person, this will take a great deal of determination, but the rewards will be worth all the effort. However, I must warn you that the more negative you have been, the more you will have to push for these changes. But without changing, you will never be able to cultivate much more faith than you have at present. It might be an idea to begin keeping a mental list of things to be thankful for, and when negative, unthankful thoughts begin to rise up inside you, go to your list and speak the items on it aloud to the Lord.
Next installment tomorrow, God willing!
See you then, and meanwhile,
Have a great day walking with Jesus,
