“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
– 1 Thessalonians 5:18
![]() For many of us, we find ourselves going through life in the rhythms. We look back and we wonder, Where did all that time go, and that makes us feel more depressed or sad. Sometimes we find ourselves going through life wondering where God is. We live from a place of scarcity and insufficiency. But today I want to encourage you that there is a way to completely just open up heaven in your life, to completely experience everything that heaven has to offer, and it’s one word: gratitude. Regular practices of gratitude are proved, both in the Bible and science, to completely fill your heart with happiness and joy. Not only that, but it actually makes you a more successful, less stressed out, and healthier person. There’s never been a more rewarding practice for such a low cost than regular practices of gratitude. |
Prayer
Give me gratitude, Lord. Open my heart and soul to see the good things that you do for and for the people around me. Help me focus on the good.
