KEEP CALM & GIVE THANKS

Yesterday was Thanksgiving Sunday in my church and even though there were so many things bugging me at the time, I had and still have more than enough reasons to say THANK YOU JESUS!

Did you know that "Thank you Jesus" is the simplest effective weapon you have against the enemy as a believer? There is so much power in your praise/prayer of thanksgiving! Praising God in difficult times sends confusion into the camp of the enemies because when they expect you to be downcast and sorrowful, you are happy and busy giving God praise.

No matter how bad or terrible you think your situation may be, when you take time out to reflect on what the Lord has done for you, you'll have more than enough reasons to give thanks.

The bible says in Philippians 4:6 "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.". Don't wait till your trial is over before giving God praise! Make it a habit to always praise God for what He has done for you in the past, for what He's doing in the present and finally, praise Him in advance for what He'll do in the future!

For now, my testimony is all wrapped up in Psalm 34:1-10 which says "I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the LORD;let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the LORD’s greatness;let us exalt his name together. I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me.He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;he saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the LORD, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing."
 
Don't let your present situation stress you out, keep calm and praise God! After these tests comes your testimonies! I look forward to hearing your testimonies. Take care and have a blessed week.

With love,
LadyMay.
