Happiness (realized my passionate desire for peace and contentment)

Anxiety (alert of all of life’s worries)

Negativity (understood reality of my pessimism)

Kin (treasured importance of my family)

Sadness (acknowledged my longing for love ones)

Gratitude (appreciated the blessings in my life)

Insecurity (faced the uncertainty of the future)

Vision (valued my hopes and dreams)

Nearness (made aware of God’s presence)

Gratitude (needed to count my blessings)

“Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15).
