LESSON INTRODUCTION
Gratitude greatly changes our perspectives and attitudes. It does not mean you ignore your circumstances and pretend like everything is okay. It means intentionally reflecting on what you can be thankful for. There is always something to be thankful for. Doing so changes your heart, your attitudes, and your perspective.
Today we round up on our study on Gratitude.
Discussion Outline
Read the Psalms 100
- Why are we to enter the Lord’s presence with thanksgiving?
- For what in this psalm does the psalmist give gratitude?
- Of all of God’s characteristics, what are you most grateful for?
- How does your gratitude impact your prayers? Your attitudes? Your interactions with others? Is there anything that needs to change?
Wrap Up
Now that we have study some scriptures on gratitude, take some time to reflect on what you’ve learned and how you will put what you’ve learned into practice.
- How has your understanding of gratitude changed or expanded as a result of what you’ve learned through this study?
- What will you change in your life as a result of this study?
- Who in your life would you like to see grow in their understanding of gratitude? Commit to praying for them. What will you share with them about what you have learned?
Action plan
Where is your heart currently? If it needs redirection, list out what you can be thankful for. If it is currently thankful, share what you are thankful for with someone today! It might help change their heart, attitudes, and perspective too!
If we accept things without Critical thinking without question or without evidence we are not only ignorant we are immoral.
