I was scrolling through my phone gallery few minutes ago and I came across this photo. The funny thing is when this photo was taken, I wasn't even aware lol, and it was taken by a friend who came to visit after my surgery.
I felt convicted in my heart because I realised that I haven't truly been grateful to God for the things He has done for me and the many battles He had enabled me to win.

This was actually my second surgery in space of 13 months and it was more complicated than the first but God saw me through.
Oftentimes we focus so much on the things we don't have such that we forget and fail to thank God for the things we already have.
We complain so much about where we are such that we forget and fail to thank God for where He took us out from.
We complain about the unanswered prayers such that we forget and fail to thank God for all the answered prayers.
We worry so much about the little needs before us such that we forget to thank God for all the great needs He met with.
"Let's not allow what we are currently going through to make us forget the goodness and faithfulness of God."
When we see ourselves trying to worry or complain about our situation or circumstances, it's important we look back at all those times God came through for us and turned our situations around.
If God came through for us yesterday and even made a way for us, why do we feel or think He won't come through for us today and make a way for us?
One thing I have learnt today is this, whenever we see ourselves trying to worry or complain about our current situation or circumstances, let's learn to remind ourselves of all that God has done for us.
Not only would we see ourselves worry less and thanking God more, but faith for a turnaround in our current situation and victory over the battles we are faced with, will also be stirred up in us.
If we can look back at all that God has done for us, we would realise that we have more to be thankful for than to worry about.
Let the worry about your current battle be replaced with gratitude to God for all the previous battles He gave you victory over.
