A Thankful Heart

Gratitude & Praise

Scripture
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.
Psalm 113:3 (KJV)

Reflection

Gratitude is a powerful spiritual discipline. Psalm 113:3 calls us into it: "From the rising of the sun unto…" 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

Father, thank You. For breath, for grace, for everything. Let gratitude shape my heart today. Amen.
