Since discontentment can cause us to turn to other things or people for fulfillment instead of Christ, we will also practice gratitude in our solitude. 

READ:

Read this Scripture about thanksgiving from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

FOCUS/SILENCE:

Write out 5 things that you are thankful for this week that were not a direct result of your own efforts. After doing this, set a timer for 5 minutes and sit in silence focusing on gratitude to God for those things.

PRAY:

Write out a prayer thanking God for what he has done for you this week.
