"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Gratitude is not denial of what is hard — it is defiance in the middle of it. To give thanks in all circumstances is to declare that God's goodness is bigger than any single day. Name three mercies before you name a single worry.
Lord, tune my heart to gratitude. Let thankfulness be my first language before the day pulls me elsewhere. Amen.
