This series promotes biblical gratitude by calling out the things that keep us from being truly grateful and how those things prevent us from seeing all the blessings that are right in front of us.

Homily: Enemy of Gratitude: Worry

Rev. Dr. Ann Kovan​

​

Synopsis:

"Don’t worry about it," Paul writes. "Rather," he says, "rejoice in the Lord!" Easier said than done, but Paul was exhorting this while bound in chains, under the cloud of a pending execution. Ridding your life of worry is not a matter of wishing for less stress but of deciding to increase trust. There, we will find gratitude.

​

Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be

made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your

minds in Christ Jesus.
