Practical Tips for Cultivating Thanksgiving
So how can we cultivate a lifestyle of thanksgiving as worshiping musicians? Here are a few ideas:
1. Daily Gratitude Journal: Write down three things you’re thankful for every day. It can be simple—like the opportunity to practice your instrument or a moment of connection with God.
2. Thanksgiving in Rehearsals: Start your practice sessions with prayer, specifically thanking God for the gift of music and the opportunity to use it for His glory.
3. Incorporate Thanksgiving in Worship Sets: Choose songs that focus on giving thanks. Let this theme set the tone for the atmosphere you’re creating.
4. Thank God in the Moment: Whether you’re leading worship or practicing alone, pause to thank Him. It could be a quiet whisper or an exuberant shout—whatever fits the moment.
