A Thankful Heart

Gratitude & Praise

Scripture
My heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Psalm 28:7 (KJV)

Reflection

Gratitude is a powerful spiritual discipline. Psalm 28:7 calls us into it: "My heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my…" A thankful heart sees rightly. It notices the small mercies that an anxious heart misses. Today, before you ask the Lord for anything, take a few moments to thank Him — for breath, for grace, for the people around you, for the steadiness of His love. Gratitude turns the soul toward the Giver.

Prayer

God of every good gift, awaken thankfulness in me. Open my eyes to the kindnesses I have overlooked. Amen.
