Why Gratitude Feels So Tough: Insights from Hope in Recovery

Walking in gratitude is not just something we manufacture, it's actually God's will, because he knows he created us, he knows what we need right, and if it's his will for our life, it must be pretty important, because he wouldn't give us something that wasn't going to be beneficial for our hearts and our minds and our soul, our bodies, our relationships.
Ever find yourself struggling to feel grateful, especially when life gets rough? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Hope in Recovery', hosts Rodney Holmstrom and Andy Petry tackle the perplexing question: Why is gratitude so hard to practice? They explore how misconceptions about gratitude can hinder our recovery journey and offer practical advice on connecting with God through genuine thankfulness.
Rodney and Andy share that gratitude isn't just a fleeting feeling but a practice that needs nurturing, especially when painful memories resurface during challenging times like the holiday season. Instead of using gratitude to dodge pain, they suggest embracing it as a tool to reframe your thoughts and find hope amid adversity. The episode is packed with actionable tips, like making a gratitude list and participating in support meetings, to help you weave gratitude into your daily life.
If you're searching for ways to bring more positivity and healing into your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an uplifting conversation that highlights gratitude as not just a human effort but as God's will for us.
