Most people who know me would be surprised that I agreed to such an adventure because I am often prone to motion sickness. Last week I returned home from a “fall foliage” tour of New England where we viewed many of the sites on our pilgrimage via bus, train, boat, and ferry. When that fall with its colors at their peak And leaves of every vine bathed in crimson, Thirty-seven souls an adventure did seek, Setting their sights on a trek to New England. However, I will be veering off the beaten path a bit as I share highlights from a recent adventure. This month I will feature small snippets from Our Daily Bread for Kids by Crystal Bowman and Teri McKinley, For Every Little Thing by June Cotner and Nancy Tupper Ling, and 21 Prayers of Gratitude by Shelley Hitz. While not entirely because of this book, much (graditude:) is due.If you are a regular follower of my blog, you know that I have been focusing on various devotionals throughout the year 2022. Everyone close to me has expressed seeing a change in me. However, as I finish, I feel closer to God and in the right place to begin my day. Some days, I think that the topic is not applicable to my needs at the moment.

I started going through this book, with the idea that I'd use it to get back in the habit of praying daily. I have experienced this in my own life and now want to share it with you. Combining prayer with God's Word is powerful. I have taken key truths from scripture and reworded them into prayers of gratitude. And so I have shared 21 prayers of gratitude with you to help you form a habit of prayer in your life.

They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. This audiobook can help you form a habit of coming to God every day in prayer. However, sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and not take the time to pray. When I pray consistently to God something changes within me.
