New Study Reveals Being Thankful Raises Energy Levels – God Word First Offers Tips on Thankfulness

God's Word First, a website that promotes a uniquely powerful form of worship and praying to God as a means to raising one's own emotional energy level, promotes the view that "thankfulness" is a very strong emotion that can bring about many blessings.

"Thankfulness is a chief cornerstone in God's will for us," says Minister Daniel Sweet who is head of God's Word First, which promotes the view that people are commanded by God to be thankful, and uses the following, among other scripture verses to authenticate such a claim:

- "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

- "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." Colossians 4:1-3

- "I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving." Psalm 69:30

Claiming that walking with God along the high road of thanksgiving will help people find all the delights and blessings they seek after, Minister Sweet says that in order to protect one's thankfulness, people ought to remember they reside in a fallen world, where blessings and sorrows intermingle freely.

"Sadly, a constant focus on adversity defeats far too many Christians. They walk through a day that is brimming with beauty and brightness, seeing only the grayness of their own dark thoughts. Neglecting the practice of giving thanks has darkened their minds," notes the leading expert on advanced biblical studies.

Thankfulness, according to the spokesperson, takes a certain amount of mental discipline a high level of positive emotional energy. "This takes practice. It may not come to you overnight, however with the right tools you can certainly achieve more thankfulness in your daily life among people and in your walk with God," said the source, which offers the following tips on how people can be more thankful and raise their emotional energy level:

1. Believe and have faith. You believe in God, He is with you always. Therefore, believe and know that all will work itself out because it all eventually always does when God is involved.

2. Music. Listen to some of your favorite songs and artists that you know will lift your spirits. Music is tonic for the soul.

Daniel Sweet concludes that if people keep in mind that if they do not receive exactly what they want, then maybe God has something better in store for them. "Remain thankful for all the good and seemingly bad things that happen to you. Know that when you are being guided by the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul says, '…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.' (Romans 8:28). And then believe that all will fall right into place," says the biblical research expert.
