Thankfulness With Open Eyes
3 min read · Celebration
Psalm 100:4
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name.
Thanksgiving is not a demand to call pain pleasant. The psalm offers gratitude as a way of entering God's presence with open eyes. We can tell the truth about hardship while also noticing what remains good. Name one ordinary gift from the last twenty-four hours. Let it be small and specific, without using it to silence the harder parts of your story.
Today’s prayer
Generous God, teach me gratitude that remains honest. Open my eyes to grace, and keep my praise tender toward those who are hurting. Amen.
