Gratitude means to declare that you acknowledge something good that you received. It could be a gift or help. How to practice gratitude as a child is what we wish to look at today.

I will exalt You, my God, O King, And [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will bless Your name forever and ever.
Psalms 145:1 AMP

The psalmist in the above verse is showing this gratitude to God by writing Him a poem to say how grateful he was. That is how to practice gratitude.

Look at this second verse:

Remember [with gratitude] His marvelous deeds which He has done, His miracles and the judgments from His mouth,
1 Chronicles 16:12 AMP

Now the writer here is saying that we should remember with gratitude what God has done for us. You have to just learn how to practice gratitude as a child.

When people show ungratefulness it’s because they forget about what people or God has done for them. They believe that they have never received anything good in their lives. They refuse to say thank you. They refuse to praise God.

When you appreciate people for the good things they do for you, it’s a sign of gratitude. Rather than focus on what you didn’t get, be grateful for the ones you have. Yes, that is how to practice gratitude.

Saying thank you to God every time He blesses you gladdens His heart and He will bless you more.

For the next few days we will look at ways on how to practice gratitude to God and others.

You will also learn how to find things to be grateful for.

May your gratitude always go before God as a sweet smelling aroma in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Prayer:
Father, I am grateful for the spirit of showing gratitude at all times. Teach me how to practice gratitude. Thank You dear Father in Jesus name. Amen.

Action point:
Look for an empty notebook or jotter to start writing down things you are going to be grateful for as we continue the series.
