Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness. – Psalm 37:3 AMP

It’s difficult to get back into the groove of blogging on a regular basis. I always thought that my friends who published posts daily (or close to it) were superheroes. Now I see how smart they are, because consistency in any area will strengthen the muscles in that area. The more we nurture our creativity, the more inspiration we find to continue.

My friend, Tina, and I are in the same boat. Due to life circumstances, we both have been unable to blog much this year. And we are both hoping to get back into a routine. But something Tina wrote reminded me that –

What We Feed Grows

However, this truth isn’t limited to our creativity. This is also true for every area of our lives.

We can feed on faith or we can feed on doubt.

We can feed on gratitude or we can feed on complaining.

We can feed on healthy choices for our bodies or we can feed on whatever tastes/feels good in the moment.

We can feed our minds with Christian sermons, music, and books. Or we can feed our minds worldly things.

We can feed the meaningful relationships in our lives, or we can drain them.

The list goes on.

Something my friend, Summer, wrote about recently also reminded me that we have to make good choices in life, rather than compromising.

We have to choose what we say “yes” and “no” to. Sometimes we have to say “no” to things that will steal us away from the best things.

Let’s take some time to look at what we are feeding in our lives. Are we feeding on areas that are worthy of growth? Or are we feeding on areas that deplete us?

May we choose to be intentional with what we focus on. May we choose the paths that most honor God. May we choose to plant seeds in our lives that will grow the good fruit.

Thank you for stopping by and reading! God bless!

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” – John 6:35 NIV

Hello, Friends! I hope you’re all doing well. I’ve missed the community here, as I have only posted six times this year! 😱 So with tomorrow being World Gratitude Day, I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to post.

Many of you know I’m a big fan of gratitude. But I also know that life can be hard. And some days it’s difficult to think about or care about gratitude. And with the evil we see in our world, it’s so easy to feel down.

However … I have seen firsthand how gratitude truly does make a difference in our daily lives. When we keep gratitude in our hearts, it helps us to face each day with courage, instead of defeat. It helps us to find contentment, rather than complaints. Gratitude trains our eyes to see all the blessings God has given us. Gratitude (and praise) are powerful weapons that defeat the attacks of the enemy.

So with tomorrow being World Gratitude Day, let’s take some time for thanksgiving. Look around at your life and find the gifts, big or small. From a hot cup of coffee (or tea) ☕️ to roofs over our heads – there are countless things we can be thankful for.

In a recent blog post, my friend Judy reminded me that even when things aren’t going well or when things aren’t going the way we would like, we can be thankful for our Heavenly Father and His plans.

Gratitude isn’t just for one day a year, though. I encourage us all to continue our gratitude each day. Let’s try to make this a part of our daily lives.

On Tuesday we will begin the countdown for the final 100 days in 2025. Last year I wrote about ways we can finish the year strong. Therefore, perhaps we will want to focus on gratitude for the next fourteen weeks?

As many of you would likely agree, I have numerous Bible verses that I can call favorites. At the top of my list, though, is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

These words really speak to my heart. Praise, prayer, and thankfulness keep us close to the Lord. They help us to keep our focus on Him, which helps us to feel His presence. They help us to trust Him. And they help us to have the peace that surpasses understanding.

In her recent blog post, Nancy over at “From the Inside Out” reminds us of the importance of holding onto God’s promises and holding onto praise. Even in the midst of the tragedies we see on the news.

And a recent post by Rainer at The Devotional Guy™ emphasizes the importance of staying grounded in God’s Word.

With all that being said, this is the direction I want to lead my heart as we wrap up the year. I want to keep gratitude, prayer, praise, and God’s promises in the forefront of my mind.

I hope you have a weekend full of blessings to be thankful for. And thank you for stopping by and reading. God bless!

No matter what we are up against, we have to keep our faith going. Each day we have to make the decision to keep praying, believing, praising, and thanking.

Keep Praying

Daily we should take our cares to the Lord in prayer. Of course God already knows what’s going on in our lives. He already sees what we are up against. And He knows better than we do what we actually need. But there is power in the asking. There are several instances in the Gospels where Jesus instructs us to ask and pray.

And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. – Luke 11:9-10

Prayer isn’t just something to check off our to-do list. It is a privilege to come before the Most High God with our needs. And He loves to hear from us.

Keep Believing

When we seek God’s help through prayer, we are to believe that He really heard us and He really is working on our behalf.

Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.’” – Mark 11:22-24

It’s important to let our faith have dominance over our fears and worries. There will always be doubts vying for our attention. Be we can choose faith over fear.

Things might not change right away, but we walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

I’m reminded of verses 12-13 found in Daniel 10 when a messenger came to Daniel several weeks after Daniel began to pray about a troubling vision. “Then he [the messenger] said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia.’”

This is a good reminder that even when we don’t see God moving yet, He is still working on our behalf. In the words of Dr. Charles Stanley, “We get a small glimpse here of the spiritual realities of unseen warfare that takes place around the prayers of God’s people. Although our prayers are heard at once in heaven (Da 10:12), God’s answer may delay in coming for reasons that are unknown and imperceptible to us—yet they are still coming (2Co 4:18; Heb 11:1). Therefore, as Jesus said, we ‘should always pray and not give up’ (Lk 18:1).”

Keep Praising

When we keep praising God, we are acknowledging that He is holy and greater than the battles we face in life. Our hearts are revived as we see that The One and Only Almighty God is on our side.

My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side! – Psalm 56:9

When we focus on the Lord and praise Him – He will become greater as our problems become smaller. What we are facing might not be easy, but we can face it with confidence that Jesus is there with us. Praise also has the power to transform our circumstances, because we are showing God that we completely trust Him.

Keep Thanking

Gratitude and praise go hand-in-hand. When we thank God for His goodness, we are reminded of all the times He has shown up in our lives. When we remember those past times, it brings renewed confidence to the battles we are facing. God has helped us before, and He will do it again. In fact, He is happy to be there for His children.

It’s a good idea to keep a prayer journal, as it helps us to see all the prayers God has answered. I don’t write down all my prayers, but I have recorded some that I wanted to revisit, or some that were especially pressing. Recently when I looked back over those prayers, I was amazed how God had answered many of them.

We don’t just have the ability to thank God for prior answered prayers. We can also thank God for the prayers He will answer in the future. In our prayers, I find it powerful to incorporate gratitude for how He is working, even if our breakthrough hasn’t arrived yet. “Father, thank you for working on my behalf. Thank you for this healing. Thank you for making a way where there is no way. Thank you for giving me wisdom in this situation. Thank you for your provision.”

I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. – Psalm 121

We have an enemy who will try to steer our thoughts towards defeat and discouragement. But when we keep praying, believing, praising, and thanking, we win the battle. We are reminded that God is greater than the enemy and greater than anything we face. He will never leave us, nor forsake us!

I often spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about the future. It’s not that I am planning for goals or future events. Rather, I fret about how life will unfold, or I wish for certain hurdles to be behind me, or I worry about what may come. I can easily obsess over the “if only” and “what if” scenarios.

The Bible tells us to take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5). I have found this can pertain to so many different thought patterns we have, such as worry, negativity, fear, and criticism.

This verse can also pertain to thoughts about obsessing over the future or the past. We should take those thoughts captive. When we constantly wish for better days in the future, or continually hold onto bitterness and regret over the past, we are stealing precious time and energy from the present moment.

When I have found my mind going in this direction, I try to remind myself of the words found in Philippians 4:8. The Amplified Bible says:

“Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].”

Take a moment to pause and consider – What is something unhealthy that you tend to fret about? Are there certain worries that are often on your mind? Or do your thoughts drift to negativity and complaining?

Next ask yourself:

• Are these thoughts true?
• Are these thoughts honorable?
• Are these thoughts worthy of respect?
• Are these thoughts right?
• Are these thoughts confirmed by God’s word?
• Are these thoughts pure?
• Are these thoughts wholesome?
• Are these thoughts lovely?
• Do these thoughts bring peace?
• Are these thoughts admirable?
• Are these thoughts of good repute?
• Do these thoughts have a quality of excellence?
• Do these thoughts bring praise?

Wow. That is quite the litmus test.

When I am wasting my thoughts on worries about the future, I can’t even get past the first question on this list. Are these thoughts true? Nope. The things I worry about didn’t actually happen, and I have no way of knowing if they will happen. Only God knows the future.

My one word for this year is trust. The goal is to learn to trust God more. And I know that worrying about the future is the opposite of trust.

It recently dawned on me how gratitude plays a key role in all of this. Gratitude is one way we can take every thought captive. We can answer “Yes” to all the questions above when we focus on gratitude. Gratitude helps us to live in the present moment. Gratitude helps us to focus on truth. Gratitude helps us to stop the spiraling thought patterns. Gratitude highlights the ways God shows up in our lives.

And gratitude leads us to trust. We trust because we remember the ways God has been there for us in the past. We trust because we are living in the present, acknowledging the blessings that come our way, rather than focusing on the problems.

I know choosing gratitude isn’t always easy. Especially when facing difficulties and worries. Yet we still have a choice. We can choose negative energy, as we fret and worry over things we can’t control. Or we can choose to cast our cares on Jesus (1 Peter 5:7) with gratitude that He is working on our behalf. I hope we will choose the latter.

The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”

The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!”

Luke 17:5-6

---

According to Oxford, faith is defined as:

1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

As Christians, it might be assumed that we have “complete trust or confidence in” God. And we might say we have trust and confidence in Him. However, are our actions always a good reflection of that trust and confidence?

As Christians, I would agree that we have “strong belief in God… based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.” However, I do believe the lack of proof can trip us up at times.

When things are going well in life, it’s easy to proclaim our faith in God and how blessed we are. But when we face trials, especially one piled on top of another, doubts will creep in. We want to see God working on our behalf. But often times, the Lord seems to move much slower than we would like. Or not at all.

At least that’s how it might appear on the outside. But we don’t always see or know what God is doing behind the scenes. That’s when our faith needs to kick in.

Faith in times of trouble is a choice we have to make. Will we choose to believe that God is working in our favor? It takes willpower to keep making that choice, day after day.

But the good news is that we don’t need faith the size of a mountain. Jesus said we only need faith as small as a mustard seed.

Charles Stanley put it this way: “We do not need more faith to comply with the Lord’s instructions, but genuine faith. It’s not the amount that matters—even a mustard seed of faith will do. However, it must be based completely on the Lord’s ability, not our own. The almighty power of God can work in an amazing way through a willing vessel.”

My family and I recently saw small mustard seed faith in action, when a family member was in the hospital. Things did not look good and the doctors’ words didn’t bring hope. Suddenly we received good news that things took a positive turn.

I was shocked, as were my family members. I hated to admit that I was shocked because I felt that was a terrible reflection of my faith. But I love how this story brings to life Jesus’ words about having faith the size of a mustard seed.

Even when our faith is small, Jesus hears our prayers and makes up for our lack.

You might be familiar with the words found in Luke 18:1 where Jesus reminds the disciples to keep praying and never give up. I recently stumbled across the Amplified Bible version of this verse and I really loved the extra words at the end. In this version we are reminded to keep praying, don’t give up, and don’t lose heart!

“Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart.” – Luke 18:1 AMP

Wow. I have to say that this really hit home. Over the past year as my family has faced (and continues to face) many battles, it has been so easy to lose heart.

But Jesus reminds us to hold onto faith. He knows some days our faith will be the size of a mustard seed. And that’s okay, because it’s not about us. It’s about Him and what He can do. He is the one that can move mountains. When we remember that, it takes the weight off of our shoulders.

Thank you for reading. God bless!

This is a real mustard seed in my hand. My husband loves growing a vegetable garden and he had some of these available. You can see just how small a mustard seed is!

Admin Note – I don’t know when or how often I will be posting in the coming weeks. Grief has brought me down and I haven’t had the motivation for much of anything. But I will try to pop in when God puts a topic to write about on my heart. Thanks for understanding. Now for today’s post. This is something that happened a few weeks ago, but I am a bit delayed in writing about it…

My tip for the day – Don’t schedule a flight to land twelve hours before a funeral. When I scheduled my flight, I didn’t know Winter Storm Enzo was on the way. Although I should have known that the weather often keeps us on our toes, even if we have insight to what’s coming.

I had two flights to my destination, with a short layover between them. I received a text that my first flight was delayed when I was en route to the airport. Worries instantly began running through my mind. What if I missed my connecting flight? Since my flights were in the evening and I was dealing with small airports, there was little chance that there would be an alternate flight which I could catch. If I was stuck in the city of my layover, could I rent a vehicle to get to my destination? Or were there any buses I could take to get there?

I knew I needed to pray and I asked God to help work everything out. I then got a text with a better flight time that made me feel I should be able to run to my connecting flight without issue. I thought God had answered my prayer…

However, after I got to the airport and through security, I continued to get different times on when my first flight would leave. One thing that brought me hope, though, was when I learned my second flight was also delayed. If both flights were delayed, that meant I should be able to make my connection.

I sat at the gate as we received different updates from the airline. The lady on the microphone was funny and tried to keep us all lighthearted in the midst of this stressful situation.

With the delay, I sat there longer than expected. But as I sat there, I felt at peace. I still wasn’t sure that everything would work out, but I put it in God’s hands.

When I made it to my layover airport, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the tarmac. Perhaps because of flights coming and going when it wasn’t their originally scheduled time? Another delay waiting to get off the plane made me anxious. But the plane finally got to the gate and we were allowed to disembark. And thankfully I made it to my next gate in time.

As I waited in line to board the next flight, I sent this text message to my friend Lorraine, “God is good! This was definitely a test in trust. I don’t mind the delay. But I was worried about missing my connection. I really felt at ease knowing He would work it out 🙌🏻”

I got on my next flight and I made it to my destination that night, just a little later than expected.

Trusting God often means we can’t see the ending. We don’t know how things will turn out. Yet we choose to turn to Him, the One who does know how things will play out.

I recently saw a post on social media that said, “I trust the next chapter because I know the Author.” That really struck me. And it was a much-needed reminder. With all that my family has been battling, trust hasn’t come easy. There are still so many unknowns ahead to the human eye. However, God knows how things will work out, and He is the only One worthy of our complete trust.

Trust might not be easy. And things might not turn out how we planned. But we can still place our trust in the Lord, because He always knows what’s best. When we trust Him, He will fill us with peace.

Our trust highlights our faith in God. And this pleases God because as it says in the Bible, it’s impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).

Learning to trust the Lord might be something we have to work on each day. But I’m so thankful He doesn’t give up on us. He will help us get there. But we have to make that choice to trust Him.

When you left this earth
You took a piece of my heart
I miss you so much
It hurts to be apart

There are many things I’d like to ask you
Many things I’d like to say
Hear one of your funny stories
Or just hear about your day

Time slips by so quickly
I wish we had more days
Special moments together
Memories to tuck away

I will choose to remember the good days
The special memories we shared
Times when you made me laugh
Times that showed how much you cared

I know I will see you again
And for that I’m so glad
But until that day comes
I miss you, Dad

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Daddy. I hope you are having a big party today.

In honor of George Frank Maklos, Jr. January 12, 1943 ~ January 6, 2025

Happy New Year!

If you have been following my blog for a bit, then you likely know that I enjoy picking a word to guide me through the year. Or rather, I should say that God picks the word for me.

My one word for 2025 is Trust.

This is a great example of God picking the word for me. I admit that I didn’t want this word. I wanted the word Prevail because it rings with victory.

However, God kept leading me to the word Trust. God wants us to fully trust Him in all areas of our lives. This is far from easy. Many of us have the mindset that we need to be self-reliant. But the Lord asks us to be reliant on Him.

The word Trust can be a noun and defined as: Assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something. One in which confidence is placed.

Trust can also be a verb and defined as: To rely on the truthfulness or accuracy of. Believe. To place confidence in. Rely on. To hope or expect confidently.

Can we say that we have assured reliance on God? Do we fully rely on Him? Do we completely believe what He says to be true?

The thought of relying on God brings comfort, yet I know I have a lot of room to grow in this area.

Joyce Meyer wrote, “Part of the definition of trust is ‘to rely,’ and that means to lean on, put confidence in, depend on, or count on. When we rely on another, we immediately lighten our load.”

And these words from Susie Larson help expand on this: “Reliance, by its very definition, involves vulnerability because we’ve shifted our weight, and we’re leaning on the One who is stronger and mightier than we.”

When we look at it from that angle, trusting in God seems like a no brainer. Why wouldn’t we want to allow Him to carry the load? Why is it so difficult to trust God? Several reasons come to mind. But I will explore that in a future post, as not to make this post too lengthy.

When I pick a word for the year, I also like to have a key Bible verse to lean on. There are many powerful Bible verses that speak to trusting God, so picking just one might be a problem!

I mentioned several from the Psalms in this post.

I also really like: “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” – Isaiah 26:3

And: “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:7-8

Proverbs 3:5-6 also comes to mind.

I believe the year ahead will bring many valuable truths as I learn to fully trust God.

If you have chosen a word or phrase for 2025, I would love to hear what it is.

© 2018-2025 Bridget A. Thomas. All rights reserved.

As you might recall, my one word for 2024 is presence. At the beginning of the year, I was eager to turn my focus on the Lord’s presence in each moment. As all years do, this year had ups and downs. And I was thankful for the Lord’s presence through it all.

We might not always feel the Lord’s presence. But our feelings and emotions aren’t always a good reflection of truth. And the truth is that God is always with us, whether we feel Him or not.

We just have to choose to believe it. And that choice will help guide us through the hardest days and also the sweetest.

In life’s bright moments, we find joy in His presence. However, in life’s dark moments, we also find comfort in His presence. He is there, ready to wrap His arms around us.

The title of this post – “And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!” – comes from Psalm 116. This Psalm, in a way, is a good reflection of the things I learned about the presence of Jesus in our lives.

• His presence brings us hope.
• In His presence we pray, and He bends down to listen.
• His presence is good and merciful.
• We can rest in His presence.
• His presence brings praise and thanksgiving.

This year I have learned that our efforts to lean on the Lord’s presence will go a long way. Spending time with Him and choosing to turn to Him, no matter what, will bring the peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil 4:7). But even on days when life seems to pull us away, like a rip current, His presence safely carries us back to shore.

The word presence has been a special reminder to cling to the Lord in each moment. When we remember that the Lord is always with us, this takes a lot of weight off of our shoulders. In His presence, we can cast our cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7). In His presence, we can allow Him to navigate each day of our lives. In His presence, we find that nothing can separate us from the love of God (Rom 8:38-39).

As is often the case with our words for the year, they are a lifelong journey. Leaning on Jesus’ presence isn’t limited to this calendar year. No matter what we are facing, He goes before us and behind us (see Isaiah 52:12 and Psalm 139:5). Each and every day, He is there beside us. He is holding onto us, even when we forget to hold onto Him. He is our guiding Light. What a gift He is!

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. – Psalm 16:11 ESV

If you had a word for 2024, I would love to hear how it shaped your year.

Also, please let me know how I can pray for you in 2025. If you don’t want to share in the comments, you can email me at bridget@bridgetathomas.com. Please say a prayer for physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental healing for some of my family members. Thank you!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, as you reflected on the Light of the world. And I pray 2025 brings an abundance of blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving in the US – a day to celebrate all that we are grateful for. The people that reside in this country are of varying heritage. We have people from every descent, nation, and religion. We have differing views and opinions on many topics.

Yet I think this one day each year – Thanksgiving – is something the majority can agree on. We can agree that this day of giving thanks is a special day, and one that we look forward to.

However, for those of us who are Christians (across the globe), we have so much more to be thankful for. We have Jesus. He is the greatest gift. When we have Jesus, we have everything we need.

Thanks to Jesus:

• We are forgiven. (1 John 1:9)
• We have been made righteous. (Philippians 3:9)
• We have been set free. (John 8:36)
• We have been made new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
• We are God’s masterpiece. (Ephesians 2:10)
• We are God’s children. (John 1:12)
• We have been adopted into God’s family. (Ephesians 1:5)
• We are chosen. (John 15:16)
• Nothing can separate us from God’s love. (Romans 8:38)

Jesus is everything to us:

• Jesus is our Savior. (1 John 4:14)
• Jesus is our Friend. (John 15:15)
• Jesus is our Good Shepherd. (John 10:11)
• Jesus is the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
• Jesus is Emmanuel, which means God with us. (Matthew 1:23)
• Jesus is our guiding Light. (John 8:12)
• Jesus is our Advocate. (1 John 2:1)

These lists are not exhaustive, but we can see that having Jesus in our hearts is a priceless blessings. As we count our blessings, today and every day, let us remember to count Jesus among them. He is the best gift of all.

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. – Psalm 116:17 NLT

Dear Jesus, we are so thankful for You. Today and every day, You are a precious gift to us. Your sacrifice for us is incomparable. You paid a price we could never pay. Thanks to You we are saved, we have been made clean, and we are righteous. Thanks to You, we are forgiven and free. We look forward to the hope of heaven. Yet we also have been given the abundant life here on earth. We can walk in Your peace and Your presence. We are truly thankful for You and we love You. It is in Your holy name we pray. Amen.
