Devotional:
Gratitude has a way of shifting our perspective and opening our hearts to God’s joy. When we pause to count our blessings, we’re reminded of God’s faithfulness in both the big and small moments of life.

Even in difficult times, there’s always something to be thankful for—a kind word, a sunrise, a meal shared with loved ones. Cultivating gratitude helps us focus on God’s goodness rather than our struggles. It’s not always easy, but it’s in those moments of thankfulness that we find strength and renewed hope.

Take a few minutes today to reflect on the blessings in your life and offer a prayer of thanksgiving. You might be surprised at how it uplifts your spirit.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your endless blessings. Teach me to have a heart of gratitude in every season. Help me see Your goodness all around me and live in the joy of Your presence. Amen.
