Ninge 106:3

Does anxiety haunt you? Are you ever jolted awake from a sound sleep? Maybe you are driving along, a thought crosses your mind, and immediately anxiousness grips your soul. What storms of anxiety overtake you without warning? Jesus tells us, “Be still.” Easier said than done? This 3-day plan will help us learn to live in the calm amidst the storms that rage within our soul and our lives.

Giving up your “right” to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. Being "unoffendable" helps lift religious burdens from our backs and allows us to experience the joy of gratitude, perhaps for the first time, every single day of our lives—flourishing the way God intended.

In his new Thanksgiving devotional series, Pastor Jim Cymbala shows us from Scripture not only how a grateful heart pleases God, but also how it blesses others and ultimately makes a huge difference in our own lives. This series is great not just for the holiday season but year-round for those who want biblical insight into an act of worship that is so necessary for our spiritual well-being.

Thank you. Two words that are slowly disappearing from our culture. How can saying, “Thank you” possibly help you spiritually? There is no one secret to the Christian life, but if we could say there was one major thing that would transform our lives, it would be to always be thankful. Being thankful for whatever God has done in our lives will help us wake up happier people every day!
