Quotes:

“Life is hard, life is exhausting, things happen that threaten to steal our joy, to steal our confidence in the Lord, to steal our peace. And that’s where gratitude comes in and allows us to acknowledge and to cherish the blessings that God provides in the here and now.” -Amber Cullum

“God wants us to entrust our future to him and to focus on the present, and this is the exact opposite of the devil’s schemes. He schemes to distract us from the present moment and to make us anxious about the future. And one tool  we have that can help us stay anchored in the present is the practice of gratitude.”   -Amber Cullum

“Remember that gratitude is not just a mere expression of thanksgiving. It’s a powerful tool that helps us combat the enemy’s attempts to distract us, to destabilize our faith, and to take our eyes and our thoughts off of the living God.” -Amber Cullum

Scripture:

• John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
• 1 Peter 5: 8-9  Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ⁹ Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
