Gracie Ekblad leads us in a meditation of gratitude, inviting God’s presence into our chaotic lives full of spiritual enemies like fear, anger, and isolation.

Psalm 118:1-7, 24 (NASB): Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His loving kindness is everlasting. 2 Oh let Israel say, “His loving kindness is everlasting.” 3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, “His loving kindness is everlasting.” 4 Oh let those who fear the Lord say, “His loving kindness is everlasting.”

5 From my distress I called upon the Lord; The Lord answered me and set me in a large place. 6 The Lord is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me? 7 The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

24 This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
