Gratitude transforms the heart—it quiets anxiety, renews perspective, and reminds you that God is present in every step of your journey. Both devotionals—The Grace of Gratitude: Finding Renewal in Every Season and The Gift of Grateful Persistence: Believing Through Every Beginning—invite you to look deeper into your faith walk and recognize how thanksgiving fuels endurance, peace, and divine renewal.
Take time to journal slowly through these prompts. Let each question open space for reflection, prayer, and truth. These moments with God are not about rushing toward answers but resting in awareness of His grace at work within you.
