situations and people in our lives,
and God may not change them right
away either, no matter how much we
pray about them. But what we can
do is stop obsessing over what we
can’t change, start focusing on what

can surrender our fears. We can
trust God has a plan that we can’t

for spiritual eyes to see when He is
blessing us in little and big ways, and
we can always ask for a thankful
heart.
