Week 29: Gratitude as a Habit

“The Lord has done great things for us; we were joyful.” – Psalm 126:3 (CSB)

Gratitude is more than a feeling; it’s a habit we can cultivate daily. When we practice gratitude regularly, it shapes our perspective, fills our hearts with joy, and helps us see God’s hand in every situation. A grateful heart is a heart ready to worship and serve with passion.

This week, let’s focus on making gratitude a habit in our personal lives and team ministry.

For musicians, practicing gratitude might look like thanking God for the gift of music, for the opportunity to serve, or for the moments of connection with the congregation. A heart of gratitude transforms your playing into an act of worship.

For the tech team, gratitude might mean thanking God for the tools you have, the privilege of working behind the scenes, and the ability to create a space where others can meet with Him. Gratitude keeps your work grounded in purpose and joy.

  1. Personal Reflection: Start each day with a prayer of gratitude, naming three things you’re thankful for.

  2. Team Reflection: During rehearsal, share how gratitude has impacted your perspective on ministry.

  3. Sunday Preparation: Enter Sunday’s service with a heart full of gratitude, intentionally thanking God for the opportunity to serve.
