Gratitude doesn’t just change your perspective—it guards your heart.

In Season 2, Episode 33 of Intentional Living by Design, we explore the powerful way gratitude serves as spiritual protection for your heart and mind. In a world full of pressure, comparison, disappointment, and discouragement, a grateful heart becomes a shield against bitterness, anxiety, and negativity.

In this episode, we’ll look at what Scripture teaches about guarding your heart, how gratitude keeps your heart soft and anchored in truth, and why thankfulness is one of the most effective defenses against discouragement and spiritual drift. You’ll be encouraged with practical ways to use gratitude as a daily discipline to protect your joy, strengthen your faith, and keep your heart aligned with God.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down by stress, comparison, or emotional fatigue, this episode will remind you that gratitude is not just a response—it’s a safeguard that God uses to protect your heart.
