Try our new email daily devotional. Life today is WAY too busy. Take some time to STOP and look around . Try it some day when you can't seem to get into a spirit of prayer. Observe how quickly a spirit of prayer comes over you.
Thanksgiving is an effective transition from the mundane, everyday world into the place of prayer.
When the enemy assails your mind with negative thoughts, and you find yourself recalling the regrets and mistakes of the past like a tape that keeps going round and round in your mind, you can shatter Satan's strategy by deliberately thanking God for all things. This very act will refresh your mind, lift your spirit, and fill you with hope because of the great God in your life. Try it in the morning, even before you get out of bed. Thanksgiving first thing in the morning will put your mind in gear for a day which will include meaningful prayer. When everything is going wrong you can turn your doubts and anxieties into trust by pausing right in the midst of your troubles to shower God with your thanks.
