Positive Mental Attitude - (PMA)
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.”
Philippians 4:8
The Christian life is a cause for celebration, but sometimes we don’t feel much like celebrating. In fact, when the weight of the world seems to bear down upon our shoulders, celebration may be the last thing on our minds…but it shouldn’t be. As God’s children, we are all blessed beyond measure on good days and bad. This day is a non-renewable resource- once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. We should give thanks for this day while using it for the glory of God. What will be your attitude today? Will you be fearful, angry, bored, or worried? Will you be cynical, bitter, or pessimistic? If so, God wants to have a little talk with you. God desires that you guard your heart with a positive, upbeat, thankful attitude. He created you in His own image, and He wants you to experience joy and peace. Today, celebrate the life that God has given you. Think optimistically about yourself and your future. Give thanks to the One who has given you everything, and trust in your heart that He wants to give you so much more.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I have so very much to celebrate because of Your great love for me and the new life You have blessed me with. Help me to keep my eyes upon You and to have a heart that is positive, upbeat and thankful. I pray this in Jesus’ Name. Amen


I just want to thank you for this devotion. My husband was just diagnosed with throat cancer and we have met a couple of obstacles before treatments can begin. He is anxious, scared, and worried. It's as though this devotion was written exactly with him in mind. I read your devotions every day and so many times it's as though the author is standing next to me and knows what's going on with my life. But this one especially is a blessing. God always gives us exactly what we need, whether it's a Bible verse heard on a Christian radio station, witness from another Christian, a cup of cold water, a chance to serve... or a devotion. Thank you.
