Day 2: Loving God: Attitude of Gratitude

Read Now

Scripture:
Rejoice in Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding , will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4: 47

Reflection Questions:

What is an area in your life for which you are not grateful?
What are the worries that you have? Bring them to God and ask for peace….
How can you bring awareness to your blessings all throughout the day?

Prayer:
God, help me connect to my life as a gift and open my eyes to ways to be a living gift to others. Amen.

Challenge:
To practice an attitude of gratitude!

Over the next 21 days, Aldersgate UMC is invited into an intentional time of prayer for ourselves and our community, You will be receiving a daily email (FaceBook blasts too!) with scripture, questions, prayer, and a daily challenge to use during your personal prayer and devotional time. The prayers used will come from a new resource by Justin LaRosa, a UMC Deacon from Hyde Park UMC in Tampa FL. The resource is called “the Jesus Challenge” - 21 Days of loving God and Neighbor. Some other prayers will be adapted to include specific prayers for our Aldersgate community.
I pray that you engage in these days of prayer as a time to go deeper in your relationship with God and in prayer for the Aldersgate UMC and the community of East Brunswick! I look forward to hearing about your experiences on Pentecost Sunday!!
Blessings Pastor Erica
