Return to Gratitude: A Thanksgiving Devotional 2025

As Thanksgiving approaches, it's easy to get overwhelmed by preparations and lose sight of gratitude. Just like the Israelites who forgot God's goodness despite witnessing miracles, we too can forget His benefits when facing life's pressures. Psalm 103:1 calls us to bless the Lord with all that is within us, not just for what He's done, but for who He is. We can return to gratitude through four practical steps: remembering His faithfulness, releasing grudges and complaints, refocusing on His goodness even in hard times, and building our relationship with Him through prayer and thanksgiving.
