The key is sincerity. Gratitude does not derive from fear.
Like xise said, faith in the Universe does a lot in my life. When things quit making sense and I don't understand why things are as they are, it brings me back to a state of peace that I am not supposed to be in control, nor be able to alter everything, because that is not what is well. Then from there, you become able to shift your focus into not rejecting what is, but into seeking to see the purpose of things and there is a lot of wonder to find in that. If you need help then ask your guidance with sincere and open questions, not about what you should do (in my experience this is usually very distorted) but about what is the current meaning of things. What is being worked? How does this serve me/others? What am I learning? A lack of control is about realizing and accepting what is for what it is.
