Romans 15:5, 13

How do we cope when we are under pressure? Do we exhibit the fruits of the Spirit, or do our mango trees produce bitter fruit, and our grapevine sour grapes? When the mercury rises, do our tempers keep pace? Irreparable damage is done when we react under the control of anger, intolerance, and pride. But patience and grace will catapult us into a new sphere of living.

We think of the word thanksgiving as a noun, but it can also be a verb. The theme of these guided audio meditations is thanksgiving. The first will help you be mindful of ways to make thanksgiving a verb by offering words of praise. The second meditation will guide you towards the gates of God with thanksgiving. And finally, a reflection to be thankful for helpful instruction from the Lord.

Are you shaped by the influences of the world or heaven? These guided audio meditations celebrate how the work of God's hands molds you. How the Divine Potter shapes you. I pray you will reflect on your life becoming developed into a living holy sacrifice. And that God will shape you to receive life instructions giving you hope, encouragement, and peace to endure the hard times.
