More from Bill Gosling

As I have practiced thanking and praising God more often, I have been truly blessed. Acknowledging what God has done helps me to trust him for what he will do. Trust and thankfulness are essential to any healthy relationship, and there is no greater relationship than that with our heavenly Father.

Striking a better balance between trust and thankfulness has helped me walk more closely with God. Life is always better with God than apart from him. We should praise God for his provision and trust God for our needs. That is a healthy balance and the recipe for less anxiety and fear and more peace and joy. I am sure many want exactly that in their lives, but it can only ever be found in Jesus Christ.
