31 Scriptures On Gratitude is to show you from God’s Word why it pleases His Father’s heart when we have an attitude of gratitude.
Maybe you are in a dark place in your life, and cannot think of nothing anything to be grateful for, Lamentations 3:22-23 tells us that God’s mercies and compassion for us are new every morning and that in itself is a lot to be thankful for.

Gratitude is thanksgiving, appreciation, awe, and praise.
It is my prayer that while reading through these beautiful Scriptures the Holy Spirit will allow you to grasp the connection between gratitude and spontaneous worship.
