The Formula for Happiness

Ungrateful people are always unhappy people. If you want to be happy, find something to be grateful for—everywhere you go, every hour of the day. It doesn’t matter how big or small it is. God wants you to thank him for everything, because “everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory” (Romans 11:37 NLT).

In fact, the Bible gives us a formula to increase our happiness:

 

WORRY ABOUT NOTHING

➕

PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING

➕

THANK GOD FOR ANYTHING

➕

THINK ABOUT THE RIGHT THINGS

 

A verse to remember:

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done . . . Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” 

Philippians 4:6, 8 (NLT)
