Earlier this year, I created a Gratitude Workbook and Resource Guide to help with initiating a heart of gratitude in your daily life. It is so easy to get stuck in the “woe is me, I don’t have…, so my life is awful” rut. But, in 2016, after making a conscience effort to incorporate gratitude into my daily life and looking for opportunities to be thankful, I kept a daily journal to record everything, I recognized a significate change in how I viewed my life in general. I found myself to be more joyful, I didn’t compare myself as often, because let’s be honest, we all struggle with this sometimes. I would even catch myself saying “Thank You Lord” out loud for random thing. I realized this started with gratitude and worship.
The resource guide is filled with verses, questions, and worship songs to help with your daily gratitude exercises.
Here is your personal copy of the Graditute Workbook and Resource Guide.
After the release of the guide, there were so many comments about the song selection that was included, I decided to comprise a list of worship songs that are sure to take you in. I know we all have our preference in music genres, some enjoy, lit gospel songs, while others, lit christian songs, and for the millennials, hip hop church songs. I personally listen to all types, I have included both Gospel and Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) in this post.
Note: These songs are not in any order of LITness, only grouped together by artist.
