WORKSHEET
Pausing to Give Thanks
Pausing to Give Thanks
A "WORKSHEET" is simply a way for you to look squarely at yourself and see where you are. Like a GPS system in your car or in your phone, you have to know where you're at, honestly, clearly and completely.
At the beginning of these worksheets, take time to pause and quiet yourself, breathing and relaxing as mentioned in the "HOW TO USE" tab. This is a great time for reflection as to how to care for yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit for inspiration and insight as you work through this worksheet.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s Will for you in Christ Jesus.” (I Thess. 5:18 NIV)
“Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” (Psalm 106:1 NIV)
“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits…” (Psalm 103:2 NIV)
THANKFULNESS
As we learn and practice thankfulness, even thankfulness for what we think we have yet to receive, and perhaps yet to experience in our feelings, we cross the bridge from our mind to our heart. This is the work of the Holy Spirit within you, not your own work. As the Holy Spirit has helped you to know and understand God’s Heart and Mind for you, He will also give you the ability to walk each day in the freedom God has for you. His heart desire is to turn your mourning into gladness, bitterness to forgiveness, and fear to peace.
Remember to move forward in experiencing the freedom of faith, hope and love in your everyday life.
Remember the process of receiving Comfort involves Pausing, Quieting, Reflecting on God’s Heart and His Truth, and finally receiving through choice of focus and choice of thankfulness.
I AM THANKFUL THAT:
The Holy Spirit has helped me come to believe:
The Holy Spirit has helped me see that I have “gained” (once I lost but now I have found):
Because of His love within me and His comfort I am now free to:
My everyday life has been changed so that now I feel:
My everyday life has changed so that now I am free to think/behave/choose:
Now that you have finished the worksheet, its a great time to talk with Jesus about what has become more clear to you. As you do this, remember that He is with you, He sees you, He hears your call for help, He understands you with deep empathy, and His heart of Love intervenes to work all things together for good.
And a good conversation goes both ways, so be sure to then listen for all the insights He has for you! He will make the Scriptures you need come alive, He may use songs, He may use images, He may use "word-pictures", etc., all prepared especially for you and only you at this time of your healing and growth!

PROMISES ..... short Scriptures to build you up and give you hope!
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” (Psalm 91, NIV)
