Attitude

Our attitudes are reflections of our character, values and beliefs.

Our attitudes also predetermine how we will react to circumstances. If we are angry or complaining we will not be able to react positively to the next thing that happens. However, if we are at peace with a measure of joy, the next circumstance will not be able to shake us.

So how can we have a positive attitude? Philippians 4:6-7 says, ” do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

So God promises peace to those who first pray with thanksgiving. Give up complaining, which does no good, by the way. Instead ask God to help you have a good attitude. Then you will have peace.
