Gratitude is a powerful emotional tool and also a God-given command.
And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
Colossians 3:17 New Living Translation (NLT)
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NLT)
Hope is KNOWING Jesus has heard our prayers and will hear every single one we say. Hope is confidence and trust in God and his promises.
When we pray, we find him. When we find him, we tell him how grateful we are that he is here. When we see he’s here with us, we are filled with joy.
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death”
Matthew 26:38 (NLT)
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” – Melody Beattie
He loved you enough to sacrifice his only son so that you have a way to be with him for eternity. His love for us is too great for him to not be here whenever we need him. He’s always listening. We just need to talk to him and let him know how grateful we are for Him and everything he’s provided.
