Can you count your blessings instead of thinking about the negative things in your life? Can you turn the negative things into positive ones?I have so many blessings that I can't count them all.
I realize there are some people who, at specific moments can't think about blessings. Situations in their life leave them empty and frightened. Don't you think it could brighten things if we could count our blessings instead of being bogged down with sadness?

As I have grown closer to God I have found that it has been easier to recognize my blessings. I think it has to do with knowing God and His character better through reading the Bible and seeing how some Biblical persons developed a strong relationship with God. Especially when I have trials is when I see God's love for me. Sometimes I start thinking that I am the result of good things and when that happens now, I quickly remind myself that it is not me but God who provides for my needs. I also have learned that Satan is the cause of bad things and that he tries to make us believe that it is God. I am still on God's side. As long as I keep in daily communication with God, He will protect me from Satan's tricks. So yes, I count my blessings and have a positive attitude.

Good for you gberlin. I am praising Him for your closeness you've found. There's truly nothing like it.
That ole' satan sure has a lot of tricks, doesn't he.
But we can do all things through Christ, when we learn how much God loves us.
Bless you and Thanks for your response.

Nope, i can't count my blessings!!! From those simple ones that I got and those great ones i have, I can never ever count my blessings. I am just grateful for having them all in my life and i am so blessed with everything i have this time...God has always been so good to me though at times, i am having a lot of problems but i am still happy that with his help, i am able to go through all those things.
