Read My day begins and ends with gratitude
As I wake up each morning, I am filled with gratitude for the new day ahead. This is the day that the LORD has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it! He has ordained all the days of my life before one of them came to be. I am in awe of the greatness and goodness of my God. I take a moment to reflect on the blessings in my life and offer thanks to God. Knowing everything God created is good and nothing is to be rejected if it’s received with thanksgiving; I thank Him for the warmth of my bed, my family — who love me — and every blessing He has entrusted to me.
Throughout the day, I strive to practice gratitude in every circumstance. I know I need to give thanks in all situations; for this is God’s will for me. I enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise and I so I pray and for His kingdom to come and His will to be done in my everyday world as it is in heaven.
In moments of stress or worry, I worry about nothing, pray about everything and thank Him in all things. I don’t ignore my problem or pretend they don’t exist, but I pray about them and exchange my problems for His peace. The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guards my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus.
As the day progresses, I encounter challenges and opportunities for growth. I’ve learned and am learning to trust in the Lord with all my heart and to not lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways, I acknowledge Him, and He makes my paths straight.
Before I go to bed, I reflect on the day’s events and give thanks for the lessons learned. I give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. His love endures forever. As I close my eyes, I find peace in knowing that God is always with me. He goes before me and I can be strong and courageous. I don’t have to be afraid or discouraged. The LORD my God is with me wherever I go!
Today, whatever I do, whether in word or deed, I do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. My day begins and ends with gratitude, and gratitude guards my heart in the day-to-day of every day.
Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:
- How can I cultivate a spirit of gratitude throughout my day, even in the midst of challenges?
- In what ways can I practice trust and reliance on God, especially when faced with uncertainty or difficulties?
- How can I further deepen my understanding of God’s love and faithfulness, and let that shape my perspective and response to life’s circumstances?
