Aug 16 ~ KEEPING AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE IN PRAYER: A CONTAGIOUS ATTITUDE

2 Corinthians 2:14 “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”

When we start our day off with prayer that is filled with gratitude, it sets our temperament for the day.  In II Corinthians Chapter 2, Paul refused to come before the church of Corinth in heaviness because he knew it would change the way they responded.  When we begin to pray with thankfulness, it puts us in a place of happiness and removes fear and doubt.  We can spread the knowledge of Christ better with a positive attitude.  “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (I Thess. 5:18).
