How can this be? Because my perspective has been radically transformed by my relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s a blessing because it reminded me that 20 years ago this would have been a devastating few days.
My family and I have been so blessed by God that we can now afford a new dryer and a new car battery, and I’ve got the experience and tools to do these relatively simple repairs. Twenty years ago, we could barely afford meals at the local burger joint.
We have grown closer to God while also being richly blessed. What once might have depressed me or given me a bad attitude is now a reminder of the many uncountable blessings that God has bestowed on myself and my family. What is there to worry about when we have so much to be thankful for?
Don’t worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. And God’s peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
