Possessing an attitude of gratitude can completely alter your perspective and outlook on life. Prayer is one of the best methods to experience the power of thanksgiving. We can still find blessings despite the economic recession, which has caused job loss, illness, and loss. Our attention is drawn away from our troubles and onto our blessings when we pray to God in thanksgiving. And that’s the beauty of faith—it enables us to feel gratitude and express thanksgiving in the face of challenges and adversity.
