How to Live a Life of Gratitude

Dec 1, 2024    Pastor Mike Miles

It keeps us continually aware that we are walking in His presence, which contributes to a godly life.

 

Gratitude motivates us to look for the Lord’s purpose in everything that happens.

 

Being grateful brings us into submission to God’s will when we’re suffering pain and heartache.

 

Being thankful reminds us of our continual dependence upon the Lord.

 

Gratitude helps us trust the Lord when we don’t understand why. 

 

Thanksgiving is essential for rejoicing in the midst of our suffering.

 

Gratitude to God in difficult times gives our witness a greater impact.

 

Thankfulness displaces anxiety with peace.

 

Thanksgiving focuses our attention on God rather than our circumstances.

 

Gratitude energizes us physically, emotionally, and spiritually in difficult times.
