Finding Gratitude (1 of 4)
Series: Overwhelmed
Jeff Geyer
Philippians 4:6-9
Big Idea: Gratitude is a learned behavior. Without gratitude, we open ourselves up to bad habits.
Intro: We all can feel overwhelmed at times. It's easy to think that you can handle everything when you're not dealing with anything. Even the strongest of us can feel overwhelmed with life, people, jobs, drama, and kids.
Overwhelmed means to give a person too much of something.
You know when you're overwhelmed when: The times when the world seems to be spinning so fast that you're dizzy. When your calendar is so filled that you start forgetting birthdays and holidays. When you and your significant other have had months being on each other's nerves. It's when you're given an inheritance. When you vehicle is in the garage for the third time this month. It's when you're with your kids all day long and all week long. When you've been promoted to a bigger role in the company. It's when your team asks you questions and brings you added drama and you can't do what only you can do.
The ultimate goal of this series is to help you know what to do when you feel overwhelmed. Over the next few weeks together we'll look at helping you overcome feeling overwhelmed.
Tension: Today, we are going to see what it takes for us to have a gratitude in almost any situation. Especially in the times when life feels like it's going to shallow us, is it possible to have gratitude? I believe it is possible.
Gratitude is an attitude that transcends circumstances. Then conditions our hearts to find, create, or enlarge a blessing in almost any situation.
When we do feel overwhelmed, our natural go to is not gratitude. It's discontentment. When life is too much or when the kids or even marriage is too tough, our go to is discontentment. It's ''I don't want to deal with this anymore'' or ''I'm tapping out'' or ''I quit''.
