Another of the blog posts shared last year was Patty Hubbard's reflection on Ignatian spirituality.

One of Patty's thoughts has stuck with me all year:

"So the answer? The power of gratitude. The power it has no matter the pain or suffering we encounter in this life. The power it has to ease the heavy crosses we carry. The power it has to bring about that peace Jesus spoke of that surpasses all understanding. Gratitude, thankfulness is spiritual dynamite. To thank God in all things, for all things is medicine the weary world needs to live life with purpose."

Gratitude is such an integral part of building a healing prayer life. Thanking God for all the good in my life is an easy way to slip into prayer and recognize everything He has given to me.

Comment below with your thoughts:

What are you grateful for today?

or, simply answer:

Did you pray today?
