Gratitude in Hard Seasons

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1

Gratitude is easy when life feels good — but the true test is when things fall apart. When the bills pile up, the job feels uncertain, or your faith feels dry, can you still thank God?

Thankfulness in hardship isn’t denial. It’s declaring that God is good even when life isn’t. It’s remembering that every trial refines your heart and reveals your dependence on Him.

This Thanksgiving, thank God not only for what He’s given, but for what He’s teaching. Gratitude doesn’t change your circumstances — it changes your spirit.

Dad takeaway: Gratitude isn’t about comfort — it’s about perspective.
