30 Days of Gratitude
30 Days of Gratitude
GRATITUDE
Are you ready to set aside time in your day to show your gratitude to the One who makes your
possible day?
What if when you wake up tomorrow you only had the things you thanked God for?
Would that make you change the way you pray today? I think most of us
We agree that life is busier nowadays than in past days. With all
it is very easy to get angry and complain about the tasks to be done, which could turn into a
new norm if we are not careful in diligently seeking that our heart is
grateful for our life.
Let's break this cycle over the next 30 days and, starting on November 1st,
let's take the challenge and purpose of setting aside time to show our gratitude for everything
what our Father has done and will do in our lives. We will close this adventure on the 1st of
December with the celebration of our THANKSGIVING day.
Every day you will say a specific prayer of gratitude, and on some of them you will be encouraged to
write your thoughts about a particular note of thanks. Every session
It will also have different verses for you to reflect and pray.
So, what do you say? Are you willing to complete this gratitude challenge? Ready
to kill time intentionally and express your gratitude to the only one who makes your day
a reality?

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
