“In everything, give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” —1 Thessalonians 5:18

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday—it’s a way of life. God’s will for us is to live with hearts continually turned toward Him, giving thanks in every circumstance. Gratitude isn’t reserved for the extraordinary; it’s found in the everyday moments where His presence is near.

As this Thanksgiving season comes to a close, let it mark the beginning of a daily practice of gratitude. Start each day by thanking God for His new mercies, and end it by recalling His faithfulness. A life of thanksgiving doesn’t just honor God—it transforms us, making us more aware of His presence and more attuned to His will.

Prayer: Father, thank You for calling me to live a life of thanksgiving. Help me to see Your hand in every detail of my day and to give thanks in all circumstances. Fill my heart with joy and gratitude as I walk in Your will. Amen.
