A Prayer for Gratitude That Comes from Within by Amanda Luedeke

Happy Thanksgiving!

In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we explore a deeper, richer understanding of gratitude—one that goes beyond simply listing what we’re thankful for. While naming our blessings is meaningful, Scripture invites us to view gratitude not just as a response to good things, but as a way of living, even in the midst of trials, stress, or chaos.Thankfulness is not something that merely happens to us when life is going well. Instead, it’s a posture we choose, a spiritual discipline that shapes our hearts, forms our children, and aligns our lives with God’s will.

Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

Prayer: God, in the midst of all that is around me, I pause to turn my attention to You. I know that none of the things in my life need to change for me to experience lightness and joy and thanksgiving right now. Your presence changes all of it. You allow my chaotic reality to become a quiet refuge. Open my heart and eyes to the gifts right in front of me. Amen.
