Studies show that people who express regular gratitude in life are happier and healthier than those who do not. Expressing the same attitude of gratitude can help you with your relationship with God.

• Give God glory in your petition: We can give God glory in our requests by making Him a priority and going to Him first.
• Give God glory in His provision: When the Lord answers our prayer, give Him praise.
• Give God glory by showing appreciation even in affliction: Often some of God’s greatest provision is seen when life is difficult.
• Give God glory in your praise: when you praise God make sure it’s relational, not just theological.
