Thankfulness and expectation of good is a seventh step towards a Fear Free Future! 

I remember a time when my one-year teaching contract was due to finish at the end of the school year.

I went to a lot of interviews but, just four weeks before the end of term, I still didn’t have a job for September.

Every day, colleagues would ask me, “Have you got a job yet?” and I always replied, “There is a job for me and one day soon I’ll be telling you all about it.” Every morning and night I thanked God for the job He had for me.

Finally, a few days before the end of term I was invited to an interview and I declared that this was the job! It was! I got the job!

A lifestyle of thankfulness and expectation of good unlocks God’s favour and blessing into our lives, chasing away fear.

“You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.”

(Psalm 118 verses 28-29 New International Version)

“Enter with the password, “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank Him, worship Him.”

(Psalm 100 verse 4 The Message)

“Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. . . offer your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude.”

(Philippians 4 verse 6 The Passion Translation)
