Guided Gratitude: Health
Welcome to Day 1 of our Guided Gratitude series leading up to Thanksgiving Day!
Daily Gratitude Prompt
Start by saying "Today, I am grateful for health.” This might be easy for some of you and hard for others. Which group can you relate to? Do you look at your health as a good thing or a struggle?
If your answer is a good thing:
Can you find opportunities to help others who are not in good health? Start by checking in with someone you know who is struggling with their health.
If your answer is a struggle:
Can you find things to be grateful for in the process? Are you grateful for your doctor? Medicine? A second chance? Time to rest? The person who goes with you to your appointment? The elevator at the doctor’s office?
Daily Gratitude Scripture
Verse 1: Psalm 73:26 NIV
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Verse 2: Exodus 23:25 NIV
“Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you”
Gratitude in Practice: Meditate on these scriptures today. Dive deeper by researching the original translation or re-writing them over and over (this is called “scripture writing”).
Daily Gratitude Prayer
Lord, hear my prayer.
Thank you for this day that I have been given. I look to the Heavens as I inhale, then I exhale gratitude for the sky above me and the breath that I have just taken. Help me to remember that everything on this Earth is temporary and my best days are yet to come.
Amen
