When was the last time you felt truly grateful?

Maybe it was during the holiday season receiving gifts, or a birthday. Maybe it was someone holding the door for you, or hearing a Chick-Fil-A worker saying “my pleasure”.

First, let’s define gratitude. Gratitude is the act of being thankful for the good things in your life.

Psalm 118:24 says “This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it!”

But, how many of you know sometimes this verse, or gratefulness, is easier said than done. This scripture is written by King David, who experienced a lot of really high highs and really low lows, yet still found a way to be grateful. So how can we change our perspective on gratitude today?

One of the best ways is to write it down. Keeping a gratitude journal and writing one thing we’re thankful for a day can help us look back on God’s faithfulness and count our blessings.

Here are some ways you can practice being grateful: Write something your grateful for in a Gratitude Journal and listen to the song Gratitude by Brandon Lake

Prayer: “God, help me be grateful for the things you’ve given me and for the things you’ve done for me! Help me rejoice in the day you have made and be thankful everyday. I love you. Amen.”
