Colossians 3: 15 – 17

Living as those made alive in Christ

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Ephesians 5:18-20

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 4: 4-7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Give thanks with grateful heart

Here are some questions that need thinking about there is no right answer but ask God to help you to thank him.

What threatens your sense of gratitude? Bring these to God in prayer

How can you give thanks as you bring your needs before Him?

Father in heaven, where we see problems How can we give Thanks?

In our private and or family life. How can we give Thanks In our Secular life

How can we give Thanks in Your Church in our Christian faith.

Strengthen the way we give thanks . Give our hearts a Spirit of gratitude

Secular spirituality: Practising gratitude is good for widening your perspective and balancing your mental well-being. Whether you believe in God or not. Vocalizing what you’re grateful for and what you want can provide clarity, peace, and fulfilment.

Thank you for everything in our lives, everything we have, the people around us, and those who have graced us with their absence.

We accept what has happened to us, but we continue to fight for a better world. We are grateful for all of it. Thank you. Help us uphold our morals in every situation. When we do wrong, we hurt ourselves the most. We owe it to ourselves to be the best version of ourselves that we can be, and we want to do good. Help us find a place in our community to serve others and keep us true to ourselves.

Through the Holy Spirit’s power we re-look at the following paragraph again. We accept what has happened to us We Thank you God that you are always with us. We continue to Pray for a better world. We are grateful for all of it. Thank you.”“Help us uphold our morals in every situation. When we do wrong, we hurt you the most. We owe it all to You Help be the best version of ourselves that You want us to be, help us to do good. Help us find a place in our community to serve You as we serve others, and keep us true to You, and in all things help us always to give Thanks to you O God

Thank you God for sending Jesus.
