Thankful and Still Hurting: A Gratitude Prayer (Psalm 107) | Evening Meditations

a quiet room to pray. Take one slow breath in and let it out. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever." Gratitude isn't pretending things are fine. You can be thankful for something and still be hurting about everything else. Both are true. Three things. Take your time. One. Something small from today. A meal. A laugh. A phone call. A quiet minute. Something that went right, even for a moment. Name it in your head and say, "Thank you." Two. A person. Someone who showed you kindness. Or someone who's still in your corner, inside or outside. Picture them. Say their name in your head. Thank you for them. Three. Something about you that's still standing. You made it through today. Some days that's the whole win. Thank you for getting me here. Let's pray. God, I'm thankful and I'm still hurting. You can hold both. Thank you for what I can see. Help me trust you with what I can't. Amen. [Music] Rest when you can. You are not forgotten. Amen. [Music]
