#228 The Power of Gratitude in Advance

I’ve been practicing praying in advance with gratitude—thanking God for outcomes before they happen—and it’s felt powerful and better in my body than praying from worry.I share how I did this for my parents during a busy, challenging fall when my dad had three surgeries while they were selling their house and moving, and how things ultimately worked out, including a buyer who wanted their unique home.I also share how I’ve been doing this for one of my kids by setting a daily phone alarm to prompt me to feel grateful in advance for a specific blessing, like Bryson finding a new apartment during his mission.I’m not trying to control the future or the details; I just prefer praying from the energy of gratitude, joy, and trust over fear and worryand I invite you to try it with something you’re longing for.Episode #15 is about Prayer Cheat Sheets!
