Gratitude is a practice, not a character trait. Jesus made a practice of being thankful. It was part of his everyday behavior.
He often spoke of gratitude as a remedy to worry in addition to being a source of encouragement for many.
Take a moment, close your eyes, and feel the presence of gratitude in your heart, mind, body, and soul.
Try to make it more of a habit to feel gratitude for the simplest things as the air in your lungs or the beauty of the day. There is so much for us to be grateful for no matter how little or insignificant it may seem. Taking small moments of your day to feel the presence of gratitude can change your mood and the outlook of your day.
MATTHEW 6:25-27
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
