INTRODUCTION
Attitude is where most battles in life can take a turn for the better or for the worse. What you pay most attention to, will soon affect your trajectory and ability to succeed in your goals. This is why God so often addresses in Scripture the importance of things like our thoughts, attitudes, and faith.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 Timothy 6:6-10
Let’s be honest… life goes off the tracks sometimes. No matter how well we seek to be prepared, sometimes we are knocked sideways. It is so easy to fall into a pattern of hopelessness and complaining. Unfortunately, those just don’t help… at all! God loves us enough to draw us toward an attitude of faith, gratitude, and contentment. This is absolutely for our good!
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Psalm 100
Taking our eyes off of the problems of life and placing them firmly focused on the only real solution to everything is the absolute best first step to take in navigating all of life’s problems. We don’t praise God because life is going great. We praise God because he loves us more than we will ever know, he always has a plan to get us to his best will for our lives, and he will never fail us. Hope is found only in our loving Heavenly Father. And for that we praise him!
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would help you focus more on him and his plans for your life throughout this week.
