Episode 408 // Ready for a Heart Shift? How Gratitude Can Help You Embrace God’s Plan Fast  [“Where Is God In My Mess?” Bible Study and Devotional]

Hey Sis! 💕 Happy Thursday and welcome to another episode of Circle Time for the Soul! 🎙️   Today, we’re diving into the power of gratitude and its transformative impact on our spiritual lives—even when life feels messy. We’ll reflect on God’s blessings, uncover truths from Mark 2, and wrap up our devotional series with Day 9 of Joyce Meyer’s Where is God in My Mess? Take a moment right now to thank the Lord for one thing He’s done in your life this week. No matter where you are, there’s always a reason to give thanks! 📖 Scripture Focus:Mark 2:4-5 & 10-12 Jesus shows us that healing isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual and eternal. When we hear God speak, faith calls us to act, just as the paralyzed man did. Your healing journey is also a testimony for others, pointing them to the Healer. 🌼 Devotional Discussion:Day 9: Count Your Blessings Key Takeaway: A thankful heart unlocks joy, strengthens faith, and keeps the enemy at bay. Philippians 4:6 reminds us to approach God with gratitude in every situation. Gratitude transforms how we see our circumstances, releasing hope, faith, and joy. ✅ Practical Tip:Start a "Praise Report" list in your phone or journal. Reflecting on God's blessings helps you see His hand in your life, especially during hard times. 💭 Reflection Question:What’s one thing you’re grateful for today? Take a moment to write, speak, or pray your thanks. 🤲 Prayer:“God, we thank You for our lives and the blessings You provide, both big and small. Fill us with gratitude and help us to see how we can bless others. In Jesus’ name, amen.” 💌 Connect With Us:Want to continue the gratitude conversation?
