It’s easy to praise God when life is good, but what about when it isn’t?
Life isn’t always good, is it?
we’ve all struggled through hard times, and if you haven’t, well, you will.
When things aren’t good, there is still so much to be thankful for, and if we lose sight of that we lose sight of hope, it’s an endless downward spiral of misery that we only add to.
So how do we do it?
1. Start by saying ‘thank you’
We usually start our prayers, and sometimes even our everyday interactions with a focus on me, me, me.
I don’t think it’s a bad thing to look out for yourself, someone has to, but when ALL we do is that, when things don’t go our way it’s so easy to sink into despair about it.
When we start with thankfulness, even if it’s hard, it’ll change our focus.
Suddenly, we’re lining up our heart with what is GOOD instead of what is bad.
2. Set your sights on the one who CAN
We need to remember that we cannot do everything ourselves, we need people in our lives to support us and help us, but even then, people will let us down.
We need to set our sights on the God who never lets us down, and even when it looks like it, we can trust and know that He has better things in store than we could dream of.

When we focus on what we can do, it may seem hopeless, but God can do infinitely more than we could even imagine.
3. Let It Go
One of the main things that keep us miserable is staying angry at others.
Just as bitterness produces more bitterness in others, so love begets love.
Alan Loy McGinnis
Bitterness refers to a settled hostility that poisons the whole inner man.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Bitterness indeed always corrupts and spoils.
Donald Guthrie
4. Don’t Forget Where Your Treasure Really Is
King Solomon, the richest, wisest, potentially most famous king in all of history never found contentment in all his earthly treasure, he said this.
A king who had everything was still longing for more, no matter what you have, if you only store up and focus on earthly treasure, you will always be miserable, we can’t find gratitude in a life like that.
If we can’t find gratitude how would we ever be thankful, even when things are good?
