“Be Grateful When You Pray
“When you talk to God, make sure gratitude is part of your prayer. It is easy to focus only on what we need, but taking time to thank Him changes our hearts and deepens our trust. Gratitude shifts our prayers from a list of requests to a conversation filled with love and faith. Remember, no matter what you are going through, there is always something to thank God form and when you do, you will feel His peace.
“Bible Verse:
“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
“1 Thessalonians 5:18″
