There are some people who are reading this who think to themselves " I can't change" or " I want to know what is real". Just ask HIM. The GOD and creator of the universe. He can change you and give you hope in these last days. Peace be with all who love the Lord.
Let me add another AMEN! You want sauce for this? Gotcha covered.
Try (for one of many) Psalm 22:3 -
"3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel."
What? My understanding (and personal experience) is that offering thanksgiving and praise to God OPENS US to His already present Holy Spirit. He 'sits enthroned' or He 'inhabits' our praise and thanksgiving.
Feeling depressed? Dooming? Losing hope?
GIVE THANKS TO GOD for all of the beautiful, wonderful things He has created
GIVE THANKS TO GOD for all of the precious people in your life
GIVE THANKS TO GOD for our MODS and for this incredible forum of ASTONISHING patriots
GIVE THANKS TO GOD for any amount of good health and capability you have in your life
And my suggestions for all of this could go on and on and on...
But Wait! You think God wants our praise because He has an ego problem?
WRONG!!
Praise of God and Thanksgiving TO God is a prescription for OUR health and mental healing. He needs NOTHING from us. But pouring out some LOVE (don't be stingy! Keep going!) onto THE LORD GOD is for OUR benefit. TRY IT! Be sincere when you do this. YOU WILL BE BLESSED by the way He wraps His precious love around YOU!
Again: sincerity, respect and good humor. God loves a cheerful giver (of praise and thanksgiving, as well). Remember, you are dealing with the LORD ALMIGHTY GOD: The GREAT I AM. The THREE IN ONE. The Father; The Son and the Holy Spirit. AND, He loves you!
BE BLESSED, dear PEDES! God's got something for you and He WANTS you to have it!
I fail at this everyday, yet He still pursues me
Amen
Amen!
