“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
The Power of Gratitude: The Practice That Softens the Heart, Clears the Mind, and Shapes Your Words
The Cure for Anxiety and a Formula for Peace
It’s Not All About You
Season Your Words with Thanksgiving
Gratitude isn’t polite optimism—it's the spiritual posture that changes everything.
This three-part series explores how gratitude transforms the heart and rewires the way we see God, ourselves, and the people around us. We begin with Jesus’ rebuke to the disciples for not considering the miracle of the loaves—showing how a hard heart forms when we forget God’s past faithfulness. From there, we look at the moments where we assume motives, take things personally, and create pain that didn’t need to exist. Gratitude interrupts that cycle and frees us to see others through mercy instead of suspicion.
In the final message, we turn to our words. Jesus said the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart, and Paul shows us how to interrupt anxiety with prayer and gratitude. This series helps you cultivate a soft, clear-hearted way of living—one that sees God’s goodness, assumes the best in others, and speaks life into every situation.
