😊☀️👋🏻 Good morning, friend!

Today, we’re starting with the foundation of thankful prayer by focusing on God’s goodness. Take a moment to pause, open your heart, and prepare to experience His presence.

❤️ START WITH THE HEART

• What is one specific thing you’re thankful for today? Pause and thank God for this blessing.

• What’s been weighing on you? Write it down and bring it before God, asking Him for peace.

Family Tip 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦: Invite family members to share something they’re thankful for and a worry they have.

📖 EXPLORE THE WORD: 

Today’s passage invites us to draw near to God by focusing on His goodness, faithfulness, and love that never changes.

READ: Psalm 100:4-5

• What does this passage reveal about God’s character?

• How could starting each prayer by thanking God for who He is change the way you feel?

Family Tip 👧👦: Ask children, “What are some things you love about God?”
