59.How Gratitude Changes Your Life: Why Giving Thanks Matters (Psalm 92)
If we’re honest, gratitude can feel overdone—especially in November. We want to be thankful, but real life is messy. Stress, loss, disappointment, routines, and daily pressure can make gratitude feel like something we should do, rather than something that changes us.
In today’s episode, we explore why gratitude matters in a way that goes beyond seasonal thankfulness. Anchored in Psalm 92, we talk about how a simple daily rhythm of remembering God’s love in the morning and His faithfulness at night can shift your emotional world from the inside out.
This isn’t about positivity or pretending everything is okay.
It’s about real gratitude in real life — the kind that meets you in the middle of your actual circumstances.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why gratitude is more than a feeling — it’s a spiritual practice that forms your heart
- How daily thankfulness interrupts anxiety, complaining, and emotional overwhelm
- A simple habit of hope to try this week (no journal required)
- A fresh and gentle way to see gratitude beyond the month of November
Habit of Hope:
Start and end your day with gratitude.
One moment in the morning. One moment in the evening.
A rhythm of remembering God’s love and faithfulness.
