Translations:TC 9: How to Pray/42/en

If we are filled with God’s Holy Spirit and recognize that He controls all things, we can thank Him not only for the blessings of each day, but also for the problems and adversities. When we meditate on the goodness of God, the salvation He has freely given, eternal life in Christ, the chance to serve, health, food, shelter, a free country…. We are obeying God’s command. And praise has a remarkable effect on us. It is invigorating and edifying. It focuses our attention on what we have instead of what we want, and we can see proof that God is at work in us.
