10 More Bible Verses for When You Need an Attitude of Gratitude

Inciting an attitude of gratitude into a negative situation will always change its trajectory. Therefore, it goes without needing to say, an attitude of gratitude is necessary if we want to live a hope-filled life!

I’m guilty of getting irritated with my husband. I love him to pieces, but there are times I could wring his neck! Those moments are a part of every marriage, though, right?

But there’s something I’ve realized over the years. It’s that when I express gratitude, the heaviness of the moment lifts. Even gratitude for the littlest of things. Partly because of that and partly because we just think it’s good etiquette, we say thank you to each other a lot. And I honestly believe it’s one of the foundations of our marriage that has kept us going strong for 22 years so far!

However, it’s not just in marriage that we need an attidue of gratitude!

It’s in every situation.

Whether we are working with children or with ourselves, we cannot walk away from expressing gratitude without sensing at least a slight change in our demeanor.

So, it is no surprise God includes the theme of gratitude frequently within the pages of the Bible. Long before our generation faced the struggles of today, God gave His people a tool to fight against a selfish heart — to fight against the defeat that comes with negativity. Throughout the pages of His Word, He teaches us that an attitude of gratitude is necessary to walk in the victory that is ours to have through Him.

Last week I shared with you 13 Bible verses to help you with that attitude of gratitude, but thirteen just wasn’t enough!

I’m back with ten more this week because an attitude of gratitude is just that important!
