November is often considered the Gratitude Month. What better way to dive into giving gratitude than having a 30 Days of Gratitude Challenge! No worries, I’ve set this challenge up to be applicable to any month if you come across this post outside of November. Can you even imagine what this world would look like if we practiced gratitude every month?
As with any challenge, it takes commitment. We’re talking 30 days of commitment! Have no fear though because the reward far exceeds the commitment! You’ll come away with an attitude of gratitude and a heart turned to noticing the good gifts the Lord has given you!
It’s truly win-win! You’ll be blessed as well as your family and friends in your life. We all need a dose of gratitude each day and a thankfulness challenge will help get us focused to give thanks for all the blessings we daily receive!
30 Days of Gratitude Challenge
Sure, 30 days of gratitude may sound a bit daunting but don’t let it intimidate you! What you will likely find is that after 30 days of being intentional to notice and give God gratitude for the blessings in your life, you will develop a solid attitude of gratitude!
What may begin as a daunting challenge will become a part of your everyday life! The more you take time to give God thanks for who He is and what He’s done for you, the more you will live in an awareness of God’s goodness.

What is a gratitude challenge?
A gratitude challenge – especially a 30 Day Gratitude Challenge – sounds more intimidating than it is. A gratitude challenge is simply making a commitment to recognize specific blessings from God and give Him thanks – or gratitude for what He has done and is doing in your life.
We all could use a bit more gratefulness in life! It takes 21 days to form a habit so being diligent and committing to a gratitude challenge will help form an attitude of gratitude that you can carry well past this challenge.
Gratitude Bible Verses
The following gratitude bible verses will help set the tone for this challenge and a few verses will be used in the challenge as well.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Psalm 107:1
How do you do daily gratitude?
When it comes to practicing gratitude, the way you do it or how you do it really comes down to what you are willing to commit to. A few ideas include keeping a gratitude journal, sharing on social media each day something you are thankful for or sharing moments of gratitude in your life with a friend or spouse.
Daily gratitude can be expressed through prayer, reading scriptures on gratitude as shared above, or through a gratitude coloring journal.
All ways should turn your focus to giving God thanks for the blessings He’s bestowed upon your life.
