Practice for today
Before moving on, choose one concrete act: practice gratitude for one specific mercy that is easy to overlook. Then return to the main prayer tonight and notice what changed in your thoughts, speech, or choices. This practice is deliberately small because repeated obedience usually forms the heart more faithfully than dramatic promises made in a rush. If you need a second step, make it this: notice breath, tiredness, tension, and weakness as part of what you bring to God with the help of a simple written plan for the next faithful step.
