A Prayer About Thankfulness

A prayer about Thankfulness

When I want to cultivate a thankful heart

Lord God,

I want to have a thankful heart. I know the best way to cultivate thankfulness is simply to give thanks regularly. Help me to set aside time every day for gratitude. No matter what my feelings are at the moment, may I make a mental list of all your blessings and thank you for them. I trust that as I give thanks I will begin to develop more and more gratitude—and that will keep my struggles in perspective.

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
