The Walk of Gratitude

Ephesians 5:20 “Give thanks continually for all things to God the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all things, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”.

As you take your prayer walk in your house, start focusing on all the blessings that God has already granted to you : your family, your husband, your children, that piece of furniture you are particularly fond of, your full fridge, your dog, your cat, this piano that you love so much….

Count the blessings of God, put them before your eyes, and thank Him.

It still happens to me very often today, as the cold concrete floor of the living room has given way to a beautiful wooden floor, that the trestle in the kitchen has been replaced by a pretty lacquered table, I keep the habit of walking around with a prayer of gratitude.

I go from room to room thanking God for all his goodness. I especially enjoy going to the “often empty” bedroom today of my daughters (who left for their studies), and I linger there with a heart filled with gratitude to God. I thank God for having entrusted them to me during all these years, for having preserved them, for making them these young dedicated to God girls of whom we are so proud today.

I give thanks by walking in my house for the blessings of God.

I have noticed how gratitude attracts favor from God.

You too can walk with a cry of gratitude rising from your hearts, from the living room to your children's bedrooms, in the bathrooms, the hallway, the basement, don't forget the upstairs and FLOOD places of praise prayers.

Proclaim the greatness of God, declare his power and his goodness. Acclaim him, recall his perfections and his faithfulness and make your praises resound in every room of your house.

Proclaim the Sovereignty of Jesus Christ in Your Home.

Even though it seems to you that your home is very small, maybe you may feel alone, there is still something we can thank God for. Expressing the prayer of gratitude will bring greater joy and victory to your heart.

Make your own this statement from David :

Psalm 103: 1-5:

“My soul, bless the Lord! May all that is in me bless his holy name!

My soul, bless the Lord, and do not forget any of his favors.

Who forgives all my iniquities, Who heals all my diseases;

It is he who delivers my life from the pit, Who crowns me with lovingkindness and mercy;

It is he who satisfies my old age with good things, Who makes me younger like the eagle.

The Lord upholds justice; He upholds justice for all who are oppressed. "

Ask yourself the question:

➢ "What can I be happy about today? "

➢ "For what can I say thank you ..."

Gratitude is a powerful weapon against discouragement and it draws even more blessings to you.

Walk around your house with a grateful spirit, a heart filled with thanksgiving to God, and expect great things to happen.
