Give Thanks for the Blessings Already on Their Way

Hey Beautiful Souls

Have you ever stopped and thought about how many blessings are already on their way to you? 💫 In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to get caught up in what’s missing or what we still need to achieve. But what if we took a moment to pause, breathe, and give thanks for the blessings that are already headed our way—ones we haven’t even seen yet?

At Rhema Yoga, we believe that gratitude is a powerful tool for transforming our lives. It’s not just about giving thanks for what we already have, but also for the things we can’t see yet. When we live with a heart full of gratitude, we open ourselves to receive what God has already prepared for us.

The Power of Anticipation
Think about it: how often do we get caught up in the “waiting game”? Waiting for the right job, the right relationship, the right opportunity. We often feel like we’re stuck in a holding pattern, unsure of what’s next. But what if we reframed that waiting as a space of anticipation instead?

In yoga, we talk a lot about the power of intention. When you set an intention for your practice—whether it’s to find balance, cultivate peace, or grow in strength—you trust that the results will come in time. The same is true for life. By setting an intention for gratitude and trusting that blessings are already on their way, we align ourselves with God’s timing, knowing that He is always working in the background for our good.

Gratitude Shifts Our Perspective
When we choose gratitude, we’re shifting our mindset. Instead of focusing on what’s not happening yet, we focus on the possibility that it will happen—and that it’s already in motion. This shift is powerful because it helps us stay open to the present moment and trust in the process.

In the Bible, we’re reminded of the importance of gratitude. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, it says:
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

This doesn’t mean that everything will be perfect or that we won’t experience challenges. But it’s about trusting that even in the midst of the unknown, God is working. Even when we can’t see the full picture, He’s already placing blessings along our path.

Trusting the Unknown
Yoga teaches us to surrender—whether it’s surrendering to a difficult pose or surrendering to the present moment. The same surrender can be applied to our faith. We don’t need to control everything or know every step of the journey. Trusting the unknown is a beautiful act of faith.

There are blessings on the horizon that we might not even be aware of yet. Maybe it's a new opportunity, a new friendship, or a new level of peace. Perhaps it's a deeper connection with God, or a breakthrough in an area of your life you’ve been struggling with. Whatever it is, we can trust that it's already on its way.

Living with Expectation
When you go through your day, imagine walking with the expectation that blessings are on their way. Imagine being so grounded in your faith and your practice that you walk with peace, knowing that God is already working behind the scenes for you.

And here’s the secret: the more you live in gratitude for what’s coming, the more you make space for it to enter your life. It's like clearing a path on your yoga mat. When you step onto your mat with intention and openness, you create the space for your body to move, stretch, and grow. The same applies to life. When you step forward with gratitude, you make space for God’s blessings to flow to you.

Practice Gratitude on and off the Mat
​Here’s a simple practice you can try today:

1. Pause and Breathe: Take a few deep breaths and center yourself.
2. Reflect on the Blessings Coming Your Way: Close your eyes and think of at least three blessings that you believe are already on their way. It could be something big or small, but trust that it’s already in motion.
3. Give Thanks: Take a moment to give thanks for those blessings. Feel the gratitude in your heart, knowing that it’s already being worked out for you.
4. Set Your Intention: As you move through your day, set the intention to expect blessings, and live with the knowing that God is already making things happen behind the scenes.

Living in the Flow of Abundance
By practicing gratitude for the blessings we can’t see yet, we create a life that’s in alignment with the flow of abundance. We move with grace, trusting that God has a plan for us, even if we don’t have all the answers right now.

So today, let’s live with the joyful expectation that blessings are already on their way. Trust in God’s perfect timing, and watch how your perspective shifts as you walk through your life with gratitude, faith, and love.

With gratitude and peace,
