It is simple to say be thankful for what God has given you. We are entering the fall season, the season to of gratitude and thankfulness. However, we also live in a world that enjoys crushing the spirit and trying to steal your joy. It can take a little work to find thankfulness in your heart.
You can start small. Wake up and thank God for a new day and a fresh start. Start to look for the small blessings that happen around you daily. Be intentional about finding things to be thankful for. It is like a muscle: it can get stronger or it can atrophy. When it gets stronger, the negative things will start to affect you a little less. It doesn't make you immune to negative thoughts, but it will make it easier to find the positive mindset.
God does so much for us and most we will never know about. He deserves our thankful heart. He gave us life as a gift. It is meant to be beautiful and enjoyed with Him. When you get past all that Satan has put in your path to block that reality, the easier it is to find worship in your soul. You can have a life of joy even if it is not an easy life. You can serve God triumphantly.
God made you the way you are. That means He find it beautiful. He loves your personality. He loves every feature of your body and hair or lack there of. When you can really accept God's love, then you can find thanksgiving in your heart. God is good, faithful, and loving. You have to praise and serve God to be able to enjoy His presence. What else do you need to feel to be able to find joy and thanksgiving?
Psalms 100
