Practice step #4
Practice thanking God when it’s hard.
We can develop an instinct to stop in the middle of our challenging situations and thank God. If we can’t find anything in it to thank Him for in it, we can thank Him for how He will bring us through it. We can thank Him for how He has helped us in the past. We can thank Him for the creativity and wonder He will display in working our toughest situations out for good.
If nothing else, we can thank Him simply for who He is.
I have seen God turn the ugliest, scariest scenarios into something unexpectedly beautiful in my own life and the lives of those I love. He can and does still work wonders. When we praise Him when it’s hard, that’s beautiful to Him. The Bible calls this a “sacrifice of praise.” It’s praise that costs us something.
It will change your life. And, that’s what I call perfect practice.
