How many mornings do I wake up with a feeling in my stomach that there is much tribulation ahead of me this day?
How many times during the day do I hear about or run into someone else whose problems and stresses are even worse than my own?
How many times during the day do I remember to take these worries, anxieties and fears and lay them at the feet of our Lord and ask for His Benediction on myself and others?
And finally, how many times do I acknowledged those blessings I receive on a daily basis, with a spirit of gratefulness and praise?
Lord, help me to remember!
