Sometimes, it's easier to ask for help than to say, "Thank you." When we know we're in trouble, we can quickly call a friend, but when things are going well, sometimes we forget to pause and be grateful. When we do, we probably think of our loved ones for what they've done during our troubles. We may treat God the same way. When things are tough, we might call for help, but what about when things are smooth sailing? Are we intentionally taking a moment to thank God for that, too?
Philippians 4 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always." That's an intentional and consistent posture of gratitude. The passage contrasts anxiety with thankfulness. Not only does taking time to be grateful bless God, but it can bring us peace. Intentional gratitude anchors us in the good times and the tough times. It's just as important as asking God for help.
