March 25 - A Postive Mental Attitude

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, 

whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

Philippians 4:8

Your mental attitude can play such a huge role in how your day unfolds. If you are tired, sad, or in pain your day typically drags on and does not feel joyous. God has created this beautiful day for you! Of course there is a rightful time for grief, sadness, and pain but if you feel as though you have fallen into a rut make today the first in a long line of wonderful days. Realign your thinking towards that which is positive, happy, reaffirming, and thankful. Look around you and drink in all that you have been blessed with. Our Father is a caring and giving caretaker. He loves you and has blessed your life in immeasurable ways. Just as Paul urges us in Phillipians, think about those things which are excellent and praiseworthy. If you set off to have a positive mental attitude today, I pray that you have a joyous and happy day. This is the day that the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it!

Dear Lord please forgive me for my negative attitude lately. Truly I am thankful for all that You have blessed me with. Please give me the strength and wisdom to refocus my thoughts on all that is beautiful in my life. My family, my children, my friends, and the beautiful weather you have give me today. O Lord, You are wonderful and gracious. Thank you for your never ending blessings in my life. May my heart and mind stay positive and right with You today O Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
