As the pressures of everyday life constantly increase in this dying world, it is becoming more and more difficult to stay grounded with a positive attitude. Unless we are anchored on the Rock Christ Jesus by spending time in prayer and claiming the precious promises of His Word every day, the enemy will find a way to bring us down. When things don’t go the way we would like, it is so easy to focus on the trouble and forget all the hundreds of blessings, large and small, that God showers upon us everyday. As the text says, in order to have the peace of God, we must “thank Him for what He has done”. That means a conscious choice to forget about our trouble, and remember what He has done! It is a change of focus which makes all the difference.
