See how with tools and resources provided by this book, God can guide us through grief to hope and recovery, restoring joy to our hearts and soul. Gratitude in the midst of, sometimes overwhelming challenges, can seem elusive. But I have found it is the fundamental basis for peace and hope regardless of the circumstances. It seems that gratitude brings perspective whether we are in the center of great success or intense and abject conditions. Peace and hope are no strangers to either condition in life but they both sit on the shoulders of gratitude. Great success can be hollow, always wanting more when not established and grounded in gratitude. The converse is also true. There are those that have seen horrific challenges and conditions but when gratitude is at the center there is a peace and hope that surpasses all comprehension. People from both ends of this spectrum are often called heroes.... God is faithful, of this I can guarantee. But often we are unwilling to open our hearts and minds to receive from God. Sometimes we hang on so tightly to what we hoped for that we are unable to see God's gifts of grace and mercy, peace and hope. We sometimes are not grateful for the spot in time that we find ourselves because we had a different agenda and expectation for our lives. But God... He gives us the ability, when we think we have no capacity left, to allow gratitude to supplant grief, bitterness, anger or resentment. He gives us grace through gratitude to release and let go, to forgive, and to heal a broken heart. It is in gratefulness that we are able to be at peace deep in our hearts without fear and worry. Paul encourages the Philippians and even us today that peace is real and powerful. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
