We have such a tendency to think only of our problems.  This has a way of allowing the problems to eclipse all the blessings that God sends to us.  Our blessings always outweigh our problems.  When some problem starts getting to you, say, “Lord, I am grateful for ….”  Don’t stop thanking Him until you get perspective.  Your blessings are more than you can count.  Your reasons for gratitude greatly exceed any problem you have.

“Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NASB)
