Weekly Watch Focus: Thanksgiving—Attitude of Gratitude
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2018—We conclude our 40 day corporate fast with a concentrated season of thanksgiving and praise. We thank the Lord for the beginning signs of restoration for our land indicated by job increase and low unemployment. Lift up praise for His shield of protection over us, Israel, President Trump, Vice President Pence, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and all who look to the God of Israel. Let us continue to cultivate an attitude of gratitude that unlocks God’s blessings all year long through 2018. Press in through praise for God’s mighty breakthrough for our families, our cities, our churches, and our nation.
Whenever possible, keep a regular journal of gratitude on a daily or weekly basis to record the goodness and mercy of the Lord.
