You Can Change Your Life Today, And Guess What? It's Simple.

"Pray when you feel like worrying. Give thanks when you feel like complaining. Keep going when you feel like quitting." Dave Willis

 Looking at this quote today, I realized something. I realized that, so many people stay stuck in their same place in life because they feel like, to change it, they have to do something huge and insurmountable. But Dave Willis here tells us differently. In fact, he gives us three simple tasks that could, in fact, truly change you life.
 See, his first point that he made is to "pray when you feel like worrying." When we worry, it is usually about something that we are not able to control. But let me ask you this; If God has got the situation in the very palm of His hand, why are we concerned for it? No matter how it turns out, God is going to make sure that it betters your life. It may not be right away, but one day, you will look back and see that, what He did that you thought was meant for your harm at first, strengthened and bettered your life more than you could have ever even known.
 Next, Pastor Willis tells us to "give thanks when you feel like complaining." I think that this is a really hard point for a lot of people, but see, when we do this, we are not just stuffing our emotions or how we feel back down, but we are figuring out a new, and more positive, and might I add life-changing way, of letting them out. You see, let's say that today we are complaining about the weather, the aches and pains your having, or the way that you have been treated. What I want you to do is take all of those situations, and turn each of them into a prayer. Rather than complaining, say, "God, thank you for these clouds that give us and for the rain that waters the earth." "God, thank you that you've made me strong and healthy and blessed me with the ability to enjoy this life." Or "God, bless that person who did me wrong and let them know that I forgive them."
 Lastly, he tells us to "keep going when you feel like quitting." Don't give up on this journey that God has for you just because you are facing a hard situation, because that situation that you are facing, is going to lead you so much closer to your divine destiny that God has for you. You have to trust that everything in you life, even the things that were meant for your harm, are going to be turned around and transformed into something beautiful that will make your life so much better than ever before.
 So today, go out and make these three small changes, and watch your life transform before your eyes.
