“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. “
Luke 21:34
Big problems can block us from seeing God’s blessings, but so can little things. The day-to-day grind of just getting out the door to go to work or school, getting stuck in traffic, accomplishing our daily tasks, dealing with frustrating people, and all the other challenges we face regularly can rob us of gratitude.
Jesus wants us not to allow the daily anxieties of life to rob us of a grateful heart. Do not let them be a trap. One way we can avoid the ingratitude trap is to remember the blessings behind the burdens. Thank God that you have a car, have a job, have children, etc.
What are the daily anxieties that rob you of a grateful heart? Thank God today for the blessings behind the burdens.
