Then here are some questions to discuss:
Read Luke 17:11 to 19. In this story, how many lepers were healed? (10) How many were saved? (only 1!) What did this Samaritan do differently? (He was grateful - v.17-19)
How can gratitude (i.e. thanking God) help us to keep the faith?
How to thank God when we are in the middle of a storm?
A good way to show gratitude is by showing others what God has done. How do you feel after testifying to someone else of the blessings God has given you?
Since we believe in the promises of God, we should be able to thank Him ahead, even before we receive his blessings. Are you capable of doing this? If so, what are your tips for keeping a positive attitude even if you don’t see the promise fulfilled?
Thanking God for what He has done in the lives of our brothers and sisters (instead of envying them) also helps us in our faith. How? How would it change you if you took the time to glorify God for what He has done in the lives of others instead of comparing yourself?
Read Philippians 4:6. It says here to pray, but with thanksgiving, that is to say with gratitude. How can gratitude overturn our worries?
Read Romans 8:37. How can gratitude (having an attitude of thanks) be a spiritual weapon against the enemy?
Do you find it easier to be grateful to God than to be grateful to the “humans” around you? Why?
Being grateful is also a very useful quality for single people! How can this help them?
Some prayer points to conclude:
Ask forgiveness from God for being ungrateful
Invite the Holy Spirit to teach you gratitude
