Gratitude in Life's Common Trials

James 1:1-12

So far in our series on gratitude, we’ve seen that humans are wired by God for gratitude (wk. 1). Moreover, gratitude can become our worldview (wk. 2). But we must address the common enemies of gratitude (wk. 3). But, what about the frustrating and irritating common trials of life? None of us is immune from these, and when they come, it’s easy to build default responses that hinder gratitude. James gives us an immensely practical pattern for responding to trials in such a way that we will actually grow through them.
