I am proclaiming right now that in times of suffering, a heart of gratitude means more than just saying “thank you”- it means believing that God is who He says He is. Believing that He is good, that He is love, and that He is for me. Believing that He never changes, that He never fails, and that He is working all things for what is good.

4. 1. BE MORE THAN JUST
THANKFUL…
A heart of gratitude means
more than just saying
“thank you”-
it means believing
that God is who He says He is.

5. Thankfulness is a heart
expression not a verbal
expression. It’s not really what I
say from my mouth as much as
what is flowing from within.

9. PAST.
Joshua 4:21-24
#How has God been faithful to help
me through hard seasons in the
past?
#What beauty can I see now that’s
resulted from difficult circumstances
in my history?

11. Our past can inform our present
when it comes to God’s
goodness and faithfulness. As it
does, it can fuel thankfulness.

12. 1. BE MORE THAN
JUST THANKFUL…
2. START
SMALL.3. REMIND YOURSELF
OF THE PAST.
