You want to be grateful—but some days, it just feels hard. Maybe life is stressful, your routines are off, or you’re simply tired. In this episode, we’re talking about the real obstacles that get in the way of gratitude and how to gently cultivate a habit that lasts—not just in the good seasons, but in the messy, ordinary ones too.

We’ll explore:

  • Why gratitude doesn’t always come naturally
  • How stress, loss, and emotional fatigue shape our spiritual rhythms
  • A biblical framework for remembering God’s goodness
  • Small, realistic ways to build gratitude into your everyday life
  • What to do when you fall out of the habit

This isn’t about forcing yourself to “be thankful.”
 It’s about learning to notice God’s presence again—one small choice at a time.

Habit of Hope:
Start with one small thanks—and let it become a rhythm of the heart.
