How to Become More Grateful for Everything - Gratitude Practice

Show Notes:
Gratitude is helpful on several levels. It can help strengthen relationships, help reduce stress, healthier physical body because you might end up lowering your blood pressure, fostering stronger resilience, and having a more positive mindset. But the thing I love the most about gratitude is how it magnifies our Lord and Savior in everything He does for us.

Psalm 9:1, “I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.”

Also, the opportunity to thank God for anything & everything is always there. So if it’s easier to show gratitude by thanking someone, thank Him. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, “Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”

And when we show gratefulness, we need not forget all the hard stuff, and the lessons we learned, too. 

Another verse says, James 1:2-4, “My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up in you the power of endurance. And then as your endurance grows even stronger, it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.”

When we give God all the glory, we stir up our own hearts to have stronger, deeper trust, belief & faith in Him, as well as honor Him in how He takes care of us & how He can take care of others, if they give their heart to Him.

When we practice gratitude, we remind ourselves that NOT everything in life is bad.
