Series: A Guide to Gratitude

Do you feel overwhelmed by the demands of life, rushing through each day without truly appreciating the moments God has given you? As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s a good opportunity to pause and reflect on the many blessings we have. This devotional reading plan on gratitude will help you slow down and open your heart to God’s daily gifts, guiding you to a deeper awareness of his faithfulness.

Over the next two weeks, we’ll explore what it means to live with a grateful heart, not just for the obvious blessings, but also for the simple, often-overlooked moments. Whether it’s a beautiful sunset, a hug from a loved one, or even the trials we face, there’s an invitation to discover God’s presence and provision in all things. By practicing gratitude, we draw closer to God, glorify him, and experience a joy that transcends our circumstances.

Join us as we discover Bible passages that remind us of God’s generosity, provision, and unchanging love. Together, let’s make gratitude a daily practice that enriches our relationship with God and inspires those around us to see God’s goodness. As we reflect on these truths, may we be moved to give thanks to God in every season.
