A gratitude log
I got approval from my professor this morning that my paper is ready to submit. I am happy with how it turned out, and the process was also great. I am really grateful to God for this.
I was worried I wouldn’t have time to work on my video game even though the deadline is the next day, but I did manage to get a good amount done in a short time. I am grateful to God for this.
My family had a great outing. We had a great meal and bought a cake for my dad’s birthday. We were also completely safe (we were literally the only people in the outdoor area during lunch). I am grateful to God for answering my prayers and protecting us.
I made good progress on my video game and work and also got good ideas for my project. I am grateful to God for this.
God gave me great guidance while praying again. It’s always so awesome when He graciously grants me such insights. It’s not because of my merits but solely because of His mercy. I am very grateful and not worthy.
I got all the work done that I needed to and then some. And I also had time to work on my video game and made good progress. I am grateful to God for all of this.
I had to move my video game save file to a new system and was really worried there would be problems. I finally checked, and there don’t seem to be any. I am grateful to God for this.
God gave me extremely great guidance while I was praying and during my Bible meditation session. It was so specific and comprehensive and clear. I am so grateful to God for not giving up on me and for trying this hard to save me. I am really a wretched sinner and unworthy.
And when I was feeling frustrated about my inability to love, God made me read this Bible verse that made me realize I need to ask for His help, since love is a theological virtue:
“We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers loved by God, how you were chosen.”
1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 NABRE
I thank God for His merciful guidance.
I was a bit stressed about how much work I needed to do, but I got everything I needed to get done done. I also fixed a surprising number of typos in an important paper. I’m very grateful to God for helping me with work.
God gave me amazing guidance. While praying a part I pray almost, if not every, night, I felt a need to focus on dedicating my life to God. And then not long after, I read this Bible verse:
“So turn from youthful desires and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord with purity of heart.”
2 Timothy 2:22 NABRE
This also made me realize I need to stop pursuing secular pleasures and actually dedicate my entire life to God. I am so grateful to God for this. I am not worthy for His repeated, insistent guidance to my stubborn self.
My dad’s medical appointment went well. I am grateful to God for answering my prayers about this.
I got enough work done while also making good progress on my video game. I am grateful to God for this.
I got a lot of errands done and still had time to work, do my hobbies, and call a friend. I am grateful to God for this.
I went to campus and had a great time. I bonded with my colleagues. I’m really grateful to God for this.
My schedule cleared up, which made it better for me. I planned on getting a customized present for my dad and it got done on the spot, which was good. Also, God answered prayers about my health. I am grateful to God for all of these things.
God helped me hold my tongue and helped me with work. I am very grateful to God for this.
I had a meeting about my project, and I was quite worried that my professor would be pessimistic about its prospects. But he seemed quite favorable. I am very grateful to God for this and for answering my prayers.
I spent a good amount of time on my video game while also getting enough work done. I am grateful to God for this balanced day and motivation.
I sinned terribly but was refusing to repent adequately. God made me repent. I’m so sorry to Him for sinning so terribly and am so grateful to Him for making me repent and not giving up on me. I am not worthy.
I had two events that I was worried could be very bad, and I prayed to God asking Him to help me. He made both turn out completely fine. I am very grateful to God for this, and I am not worthy.
I was frustrated with work but solved most of the problem. I am grateful to God for this.
