Advent: The Prayer of Gratitude — Trudi Sayers
Description
Launching our Advent series, Trudi invites us into the practice—and the posture—of heaven-directed gratitude. In a season marked by frenzy, pressure, and the noise of consumption, she reminds us that thanksgiving is more than a wellbeing exercise; it is a spiritual discipline that recentres our hearts on the goodness of God. Looking at Jesus feeding the 5,000 and raising Lazarus, Trudi shows that Jesus gives thanks before the miracle—revealing gratitude as a pathway into abundance, partnership, and faith. True gratitude shifts us from scarcity to expectancy, from grumbling to trust, from self-sufficiency to dependence on the One who freely gives life without measure. As Advent begins, we’re invited to pause, lift our eyes to heaven, and give thanks—not only for what God has done, but for the abundance He is ready to pour out in us, through us, and beyond us in the year ahead.
