Many times we pray for more in our lives. When we are experiencing hard and difficult times we pray for more of what we would like in our lives. I often find myself asking for peace and quiet when there is too much going on in my life, or strength when i'm faced with difficult people, situations and events. We are only human and it is only natural to feel the need to ask for more to sustain and help us when we need it.
But how many times do we stop and actually take account of all the abundance that is already there, overflowing silently around us, filling our very souls with bounties and blessings that we are unaware of? We can all get caught up in life and forget to give thanks for all the blessings that we have.
What do we count as blessings?
I give thanks for many things, things you may not even think of as blessings – the roof over my head, the food for my meals, the warmth of my home, the life I wake to each day, but I also give thanks for the love of my family, for a peaceful family live and a peaceful home, for good neighbours, for a safe community, etc.
Make a short mental list of all the blessings and abundances in your life.
