1 · Word Snapshot 🎯

Eucharistía (εὐχαριστία, yoo‑kha‑ris‑TEE‑ah) joins eu “good” + cháris “grace.”
Literally: good grace—glad thanks that recognises a gift.

Appears in the Greek New Testament (NT) 15 times (noun form; the verb eucharistéō ~38×).

In classical Greek it meant gratitude for a favour; NT writers made it a lifestyle rhythm (Col 2:7).

Plain English: eucharistía = thanking God aloud for every good thing—large or tiny.

2 · Verse Spotlight 📖

“Let your requests be made known to God with thanksgiving (eucharistías).” — Phil 4:6

“Whatever you do… do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks (eucharistían).” — Col 3:17

“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving (eucharistía).” — Col 4:2

All three show eucharistía as a posture on repeat—prayer is soaked in gratitude, not grumbling.

Pro tip: when you spot thanksgiving in English, look for eucharistía—it signals grace‑aware prayer.

3 · Why It Matters Today

• Flip the focus – gratitude shifts eyes from gaps to gifts.

These three moves re‑wire your day in under a minute—keep reading to try it…

4 · 60‑Second Practice ⏱️

1. Pause & spot one gift. Coffee aroma, quiet commute, answered email—name it.

2. Say it aloud. “Father, thanks for ___.” (Words matter—think eu + cháris.)

3. Share the thanks. Text or tell someone why you’re grateful—it multiplies joy.

Gratitude isn’t gratitude until it’s voiced.
