GRATITUDE

When we receive what God has to offer us with gratitude, it makes us happier, improves our relationships, and potentially even counteract depression, suicidal thoughts, and other illnesses,

Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts since you were called to peace as members of one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Father, give us an attitude of thanksgiving in the trials and blessings of life. Help us approach each day and struggle with gratitude and give us the desire to start our day with You. Lord, baptize us in the Holy Spirit that opens our hearts to acceptance of You and obedience. Father, let our quiet time with Christ draw us nearer to Thee. Lord, help us apply what we have learned to our daily lives and give us strength and courage to stand on Your promise. Lord, let the Word and the Spirit strengthen us where we're weak; let You be the first thing on our minds when we wake and the last thing we think about at night. Lord, give us the wisdom and knowledge that leads to a deeper fellowship with You. In Jesus' name Amen
