Specific Gratitude

Specific Gratitude

This month, we’ve devoted Prayer Point to the theme of praying with gratitude. Let me encourage you to keep your foot on the gas pedal after November as well. Continue to work the muscle of saying prayers of thanksgiving all year long. Along these lines, one other point of encouragement is to be thankful for specific people and circumstances—even the difficult ones. Lately, Romans 8:28 has come alive to me in a fresh way. Through all of the ups and downs, mountaintops and valleys, it’s easy to forget that God really is working all things together for our good. Not just some things, or most things, but all things. Try thanking the Lord in specific ways, and His peace is sure to come. Now that’s something to pray about!
