The gratitude journal is a great idea! I have one and D9 just started one, too. When we open a page, on one side (the back of the day before) we list all the things we are thankful for that we already have. On the facing page, we list all the things we are grateful that we know God intends for us to have. The most important thing, though, is to list those intentions as if they have already been blessed into your life. Do not word anything negatively, either. For example, instead of saying " I am grateful that we have no debt", write " I am grateful that my bills are paid in full and I have plenty of money, enabling me to take care of my family and bless others."
Do it for a month. Each day, before writing, review the day before and reflect on the gratitude in your heart for all God is doing in your life. Make sure you are in the right mind frame before you start writing the new pages. I guarantee it will change your mindset. I have only been doing it for a couple of weeks and it is helping already.
