Gratitude Awakens
Gratitude & Praise
Scripture
Psalm 100
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord; be glad and sing, for it is good to praise the Lord, and pleasant it is to dwell in His presence.”
Devotion
Gratitude awakens joy. When you notice what you have been given, when you acknowledge blessings, when you stop taking things for granted, joy emerges. Scripture teaches that making a joyful noise, singing, and praising creates something inside you—joy, peace, connection with God. Gratitude is not just about feeling thankful; it is about expressing gratitude, which deepens thankfulness and joy. Make gratitude a practice. Notice blessings. Express thanks. Watch joy awaken.

Prayer
God, awaken gratitude in me. Help me to notice blessings. Help me to express thanks. Help gratitude to transform my perspective and fill me with joy. Help me to dwell in Your presence with gladness.
