Featuring Heavenly Whispers by Isik Abla
Thanksgiving is a wonderful reminder to count our blessings. But let’s be realistic. Some years it’s easier to feel thankful than others. Maybe you’re facing a difficult relationship, an uncertain future, a financial challenge, or a prayer that God hasn’t answered yet.
So how do we cultivate gratitude when life doesn’t look the way we hoped? I believe it begins when we quiet the noise around us and remember what God says about us.
That’s why I’m delighted to introduce you to Heavenly Whispers, a beautiful 365-day devotional by Thrilling Life Publishers author Isik Abla.
A Remarkable Story of Hope
Born in Turkey, Isik escaped an abusive marriage and eventually came to America. Despite the tremendous pain she experienced, her journey ultimately led her to a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.
Today, she shares the hope and healing she discovered with people around the world.
Through Heavenly Whispers, Isik invites readers to spend each day remembering who they are in God’s eyes. You are not forgotten or overlooked. Your past mistakes and present circumstances do not define you. Instead, God loves you, has chosen you, and created you for a purpose.
Gratitude Changes Our Perspective
One of the things I appreciate most about this devotional is its reminder that we don’t have to earn God’s love. We already have it. And that changes everything!
As we begin to understand how deeply our Heavenly Father loves us, gratitude becomes more than a list of things we’re thankful for. Instead, it becomes a heartfelt response to the One who never stops loving us.
And isn’t that what Thanksgiving should be about?
A Thanksgiving Invitation
This November, I encourage you to begin each morning with a simple prayer:
Lord, help me recognize Your goodness today, even in the middle of life’s challenges.
I’ve found this simple prayer to be a wonderful way to lift my spirits. After talking with God, I take a few moments to be still, reflect on His Word, and remember His faithfulness throughout my life.
I encourage you to try it, too. Then thank Him for the ways He’s already been working in your life. As you make this a daily habit, you may discover that some of your greatest blessings don’t come from changed circumstances but from a renewed awareness of God’s presence.
Sometimes the most beautiful gratitude begins when we stop striving and start listening.
