Spiritual Practices - Gratitude
Adapted from: Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices that Transform Us, (Downers Grove: IVP Books, 2005).
Week of June 27th, 2021
Sometimes we need a reminder of how we grow closer to God. A different way to think about continually being shaped and molded by our Lord. For the next five weeks, we will be inviting you to think of the ways different practices impact your relationship with God. Some may come naturally to you or are things you already do, perhaps take time to thoughtfully consider what they mean to you. Some practices may be new, give them a try and see if they are a fit for this season of your life. Let us bring our hearts and lives before the Lord!
Scripture for the week: Psalm 150
How do you respond to God’s love and grace in your life?
What is at the root of a thankful heart and life?
How do you delight in God daily?
Spiritual Practice: Gratitude
What prayers and songs help you to focus on God?
How can you share signs of thankfulness towards God each day?
How do you show gratitude towards people? How can this translate into showing gratitude towards God?
What leads you to notice the presence of God throughout your day?
Perhaps, keep a journal of the reasons your praise God.
Additional Scriptures to Meditate On:
Psalm 136: 1-2
1 Thess. 5: 16-18
Phil 4:6
