Praise and Thankfulness Art


A Story Of Faith By Margaret Lukasik

Faith Doesn't Have To Be Complicated.

I decided to do a painting series about faith because it's not as illusive as many people believe. Instead, it's simple and uncomplicated.

The day I called upon God to save my life, I experienced a miracle! I was thankful, but I wanted to live a life of miracles so I examined my faith that day and studies what faith is from the Bible and people who lived lives of great faith. 

A number of years later, I had a spiritual breakthrough that changed my life and also saved it two more times.  I came to realize the simplicity of faith by not trying to live it by my ability, but by faith in God. 

My thankfulness and gratitude are so much a part of who I am, that I have created this series to inspire others. "Praising God" is the first of this series that I hope inspires peace, joy and thankfulness in the hearts of all who view it!

Why I created This specific painting: 

I painted the woman above with uplifted arms to serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of praise and thankfulness. It's a testament to the fact that in our darkest moments, the act of gratitude can illuminate our path towards healing and growth.  Before my studies of true Godly "faith," I felt suffocated by negativity and self-doubt. Every day seemed like a struggle, and I found it difficult to see the blessings that surrounded me. 

In the midst of my studies, I began to notice a shift within me during difficult times.  I went from struggling to trusting in God unconditionally.  I started to incorporate praise and thankfulness into my daily routine, setting aside time to express gratitude for the gifts God has blessed me with in my life. 

At first, it was a struggle to change. But as I continued to praise God and reflect on the good things in my life, the shift I had mentioned began to take place within me.  My negative mindset began to disappear, replaced by a sense of deep and abiding gratitude to God for His blessings. And as I embraced this attitude of thankfulness, I began to notice a change in my life. 

Blessings seemed to flow effortlessly, as if my newfound sense of gratitude was a magnet for joy, peace and abundant living. I found new opportunities presenting themselves, relationships blossoming, and a sense of peace settling over me.  I came to realize that miracles can be an everday part of our lives by trusting God with all our hearts, minds and being.  

Conclusion

I hope my painting will do the same for you if you feel overcome by the world or a specific situation. Take time to reflect on your own experiences with praise and thankfulness if you're facing difficulties. Doing so will release God's transformative power in your life for abundant living.  - Margaret Lukasik
