Giving thanks in all circumstances, especially during anxiety, can seem impossible. Yet gratitude is a powerful antidote to fear and worry. It shifts our focus from what's wrong to what's right. Reflect on the past week. Where have you seen God's faithfulness, even in small ways? Start a gratitude journal, noting three things each day for which you're thankful. Over time, watch how this practice transforms your outlook and deepens your trust in God's goodness.

Reflection Questions:

- How has gratitude made a difference in your past experiences of anxiety?

- What small blessings can you identify today, even in the midst of challenges?

Application: 

At the beginning or end of each day, take a few minutes to write down three things you are thankful for. Aim to notice different blessings each day to cultivate an ongoing awareness of God's faithfulness.
