Thanking God for Things He's Going to Do

I have to believe there's spiritual, psychological and even physical benefits to just stopping and realizing what you have. I think that state of peace of mind starts with gratitude, with recognizing. This is one of the reasons I love the book of Ephesians because Ephesians is all about Paul's prayer for the church at Ephesus. That they will know deep down in their soul, in their spirit, who they are and what they have in Christ. And it creates a wholeness internal wholeness where we can respond to God in an appropriate way.
