How to Find Gratitude When You Forget Go...

Your Daily Bible Verse
About this episode

Today’s Bible Verse:
“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”
Psalm 103:1–2

Overview:
Psalm 103:1–2 calls us to an intentional kind of worship—one that rises from the deepest places within us. It’s a reminder that gratitude isn’t accidental; it’s a spiritual practice. When we pause to remember God’s goodness, faithfulness, and mercy, our perspective shifts. Instead of focusing on what’s missing, our hearts awaken to everything God has already done. These verses invite us to slow down, lift our eyes, and let praise reset our souls.
