Count Your Blessings!

Do you ever feel discouraged?

Are you overwhelmed by problems and worries?

One of the best ways to get rid of discouragement is to...

Count Your Blessings!

When upon life's billows
you are tempest tossed

When you are discouraged,
thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings,
name them one by one,
And it will surprise you
what the Lord hath done.


Are you ever burdened
with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings,
every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing
as the days go by.


When you look at others
with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised
you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings—
wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven,
nor your home on high.

So, amid the conflict
whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged,
God is over all;
Count your many blessings,
angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you
to your journey’s end.

Count your blessings, 
name them one by one,
Count your blessings, 
see what God hath done!
Count your blessings,
name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, 
see what God hath done.

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done!


Matthew 5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:

but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Romans 8:31
What shall we then say to these things? 

If God be for us, who can be against us?

Psalm 27:14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: 

wait, I say, on the LORD.

Now Smile!
And think about all that God has done for you!
