Grateful Always: 5 Days to a Thankful Heart

DAY 4 OF 5

Gratitude Brings Peace

Verse:
“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts… and be thankful.” — Colossians 3:15 NKJV

Declaration:
God, I thank You for peace that rules my heart. I declare that gratitude shifts my focus, calms my mind, and anchors me in Your peace. I choose thankfulness over worry because Your peace is stronger than my fear.

Self-Reconciliation:
(Insert your name), thankfulness is not just a feeling—it is a decision. When you choose gratitude, peace will follow. Refuse to let fear and worry be in charge—let peace be your ruler. The more you thank Him, the more your heart will be settled. You are not tossed around by life’s storms—you are anchored by His peace through thanksgiving. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Action Step:
Pause three times today (morning, afternoon, night) and thank God for one thing in that moment. Watch how peace fills you.
