Gratitude: The Path to Peace
Reflect/Discuss
- What do you think it looks like to have a peaceful heart?
- How are gratitude and peace connected?
Consider
Does peace ever seem unattainable? With so much going on in the world, endless distractions and problems, a still and quiet heart and mind can seem like a distant dream. No matter how hard we try we can still struggle with anxiety and fear. This affects every part of our life, including our relationships. This passage in Colossians reminds us that we are called to peace, that it is to rule in our hearts. That means it has the final say. For the believer, peace is achievable, regardless of circumstance!
Peace is not something we can work hard to earn. Peace begins when we choose to have grateful hearts. As we tell about all that God has done for us - through songs, words, and actions - we magnify God instead of our problems. This helps us and others around us to trust God more and walk in his peace. Gratitude leads to a peace that is rooted in Christ and goes beyond our circumstances.
Act
- Spend some time today quietly reflecting on who God is. You will experience peace in direct proportion to how regularly you practice this.
- Choose to let peace rule in your heart. When you feel anxious or troubled, think about God’s unlimited capacity and three specific things that God has done for you.
關於此計劃
In difficult situations, we long more for a change of circumstances than we do a change in ourselves. Surprisingly, changing what’s inside of us by choosing gratitude changes our perspective even if circumstances remain undesirable. That’s why God tells us to be grateful in all circumstances. Practicing thankfulness is more powerful than we think. In this study, we’ll learn how God uses gratitude to change our lives for the better.
