I think most of us would agree that life is busier than
it’s ever been. With all the rushing and doing, it’s easy
to grumble and complain. It can become the new norm
if we’re not diligently seeking to live with a grateful
heart.
For the next 30 days, let’s break the cycle and
challenge ourselves to purposefully set aside time to
show our gratitude for all our Father has done and will
do in our lives. Each day you’ll pray a specific prayer of
gratitude. Some days there will also be an opportunity
for you to read a related article, or watch a short video.
Other days you’ll be encouraged to journal or write
down your thoughts about a particular thankfulness
related prompt. Every day will also have several verses
for you to think about or pray over.
You can start this prayer challenge any day of the
month, but it might be easier to start at the beginning
of the month, just to keep track of the days. It’s okay if
you miss a day or two- life happens! If you do miss a
day, you don’t need to go back or start over. Just pick
up with the corresponding day and, if you have time,
you can go back to the days you’ve missed.
So what do you say? Willing to improve your gratitude
attitude? Ready to make time in your day to show
your thankfulness to the One who makes your day
possible? Awesome!
Oh, one more thing—consider sharing this
guide with an accountability partner or friend.
Let’s get started!
DAY 1
Thank God for Your
Salvation through
Jesus Christ.
Who else would’ve given up his son for you, for me? What grace God has shown for His children! Thank Him that no
man, no thing, no power in hell can undo what He did on the cross. Thank God Almighty that you have been saved
from the sting of death. Thank Him that you will not be separated from our Lord, for you have been saved by the blood
of The Great I AM. Praise God for the blood of the Lamb! Ask that He would give you boldness to share your testimony
of salvation with others today, that no one would perish and spend eternity separated from Him.
