Most of us have done it — punched in our prayer, waited for the output, and walked away frustrated when nothing dropped. But what if the problem isn't your faith? What if it's your expectations? In this post, we're unpacking one of the sneakiest mindsets in modern Christianity — and inviting you to something so much better.

Today, I want to talk about the two parts of giving thanks that can powerfully impact our lives – praise and edification. You might not have considered praise and edification powerful practices, but literal battles have been won with praise alone! (Read 2 Chronicles 20:21-30)

Everything you see or do goes through the filter of your attitude. The wonderful thing about it is it’s the one thing we have total control over. It doesn’t matter what situation you’re in; your attitude can be changed.

Are you facing something hard right now? Does it feel as if you’re lost in the “valley of the shadow of death”? There are times that life plain sucks, and what we are going through feels like it will overtake us. We know God is with us in all situations, but can we be honest? Knowing that He’s with us and feeling His presence are two completely different things.

That all sounds great, but where I tend to come up short is in the follow-through – finishing what I have started. Anyone else like me? I tend to get bored with a task I start and let myself get distracted by anything and everything. This is an area I’m definitely working on, so this blog is as much for me as anyone who reads it.

Serving others (and even ourselves) isn't about depleting who we are but helps develop our giftings even more. Ephesians 4:1 says, "I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.." Matthew 20:26 says, "If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others." This means that true greatness comes from a servanthood lifestyle.

Words can be used to build people and situations up, and they can cause the deepest wounds a soul can endure. Not only do other people's words affect us, but our own words significantly impact our lives and our success in life.

It seems that commitment is something that is less and less important in our society. As a teacher, I have watched commitment to activities and even to each other digress. The “selfie” culture has us focused on what makes “me” happy. If I’m not feeling it, I’m not going to do it.
