Psalm 118:1
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!

Gratitude doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means choosing to look for the goodness of God even when things aren’t. Gratitude shifts your focus from your ever-changing circumstances to a never-changing God. It reminds you that He is still at work in places you can’t see yet—and when you do notice, that will only deepen your desire to give thanks.

Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of olive fail, and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

How do you praise the Lord when life feels hard? Maybe you’ve lost your job, your finances are tight, or you just don’t know what’s next. The key is remembering that even in seasons of loss and uncertainty, joy isn’t found in circumstances—it’s found in God Himself, who never fails and whose love never runs out.

Isaiah 58:6
Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

There’s nothing like a table piled high with good food while being surrounded by good friends. And yet, there comes a time in life when the table needs to be empty. Not for punishment, but for purpose. When you choose to fast and pray for someone else, something incredible happens: chains are loosened, hearts are healed, and people are set free. Skipping a meal to accomplish all that, is definitely worth an empty belly.

Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

When you trust Jesus to make you righteous, you’re delivered from the greatest trouble the world has to offer: sin. Life will still bring challenges—troubles, setbacks, and hard days—but God’s deliverance is what matters most, now and for eternity.

2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Giving to others isn’t about what you have to give, it’s about what God has given you to share. And it’s about trusting Him to take care of all of your needs. And the more you listen to Him, the more you realize: generous people don’t often have a lot of money in their pockets, they’re simply people with a lot of love in their hearts.

2 Corinthians 12:9
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Did you know that God loves using imperfect people? Cowards, sinners, outcasts…you name it. Because when we’re at the end of our human strength, we’re forced to lean on God’s strength… and that’s when you get to see His power. I’m reminded all the time that it’s not me who’s making life happen: it’s Christ through me.
