Day 7: Cultivating a Heart of Gratitude

**Reflection:**

Gratitude is a powerful attitude that can transform your marriage. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances, recognizing that this is God’s will for us. Gratitude shifts your focus from what is lacking to what is present, allowing you to appreciate your husband and your marriage more deeply.

Colossians 3:15 connects gratitude with peace, reminding us to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts and to be thankful. A heart filled with gratitude is a heart at peace. When you choose to be thankful, you create an atmosphere of joy and contentment in your home.

Philippians 4:6-7 teaches us to replace anxiety with prayer and thanksgiving, promising that God’s peace will guard our hearts and minds. Gratitude is a choice, and when you thank God for your husband and marriage, you invite His peace into your relationship.

Today, take time to express gratitude for your husband and your marriage. Reflect on the blessings you’ve experienced together, and thank God for them.

**Prayer:**

Father, thank You for my husband and for our marriage. Help me to cultivate a heart of gratitude, recognizing Your blessings in every situation. May my thankfulness bring peace and joy into our home. Amen.
