*TODAY'S WORD'S OF TRANSFORMATION* @⁨⁨PRAYER COMMUNITY MINISTRY (PCM)⁩⁩ 5TH FEBRUARY, 2025 *Title: A Heart of Gratitude* *Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:18* Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, As we navigate the ups and downs of life, it's easy to get caught up in negativity and complaining. But as children of God, we are called to live differently. In _1 Thessalonians 5:18,_ we read, *"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."* Notice that it doesn't say "give thanks for all circumstances." Rather, it says "give thanks in all circumstances." There's a big difference. We may not always be thankful for our circumstances, but we can always be thankful in them. So, what does it mean to give thanks in all circumstances? It means recognizing that God is sovereign over all things, and that He is working everything out for our good. It means trusting that God's plan is better than ours, even when we don't understand it. When we cultivate a heart of gratitude, we begin to see the world in a different light. We start to notice the small blessings that we often overlook. We begin to appreciate the beauty of God's creation, and the goodness of His people. *SUMMARY👇* Giving thanks in all circumstances is God's will for us in Christ Jesus. It means recognizing God's sovereignty, trusting His plan, and cultivating a heart of gratitude. *ADVICE 🗣️* Take time today to reflect on the blessings in your life. Brethren ! Write down three things you are thankful for, and why. Then, take a moment to pray and ask God to help you cultivate a heart of gratitude. *PRAYER POINTS👇* • Brethren ask God to help you cultivate a heart of gratitude. - Pray for the ability to see God's goodness and blessings in your life. - Ask God to give you joy and contentment in all circumstances. *LET'S PRAY 🙏* *PRAYER👇* JEHOVAH!

Give us eyes to see Your blessings, and a heart to appreciate Your goodness. May we be joyful and content in all circumstances, knowing that You are sovereign over all things. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. _#prayercommunityministry_ *© CCC TRANSFORMATION PARISH 🇳🇬🇬🇭*
