60+ Motivating Bible Verses About Being Blessed and Counting Your Blessings

Published June 16, 2023

How blessed do you feel right at this moment? We all have different answers to this question. People who just received great news may say that they feel so blessed. While those who are struggling may claim that God has forgotten them.

But if you are to look back at your life thus far, can you really say that you are not blessed?

You see, human gratitude is short-lived. When things go our way, it’s easier to be grateful and appreciate our blessings. But when things are tough, we tend to forget about all the favors we’ve received and instead focus on our problems. We blame God for our misfortunes and doubt His love for us.

The truth is, God never really stops blessing us. Even in our darkest moments, His blessings abound. We just need to learn to see beyond our troubles and focus on everything He has done for us.

Even if you fail to get your dream job, lost your home, or become estranged from your family, there are still a lot of things to be thankful for. The fact that you’re still alive, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the sunrise and sunsets, having a country to call your own, and being to love and be loved – all of these are blessings from God. 

Even the heartbreaks, traumas, and rejections we’ve been through are all something we should be grateful for. If not for these bad experiences, we wouldn’t be able to become the strong, resilient person we are right now.

So if you’re struggling to appreciate God’s grace in your life right now, here are some of the most inspiring and motivating Bible verses about counting your blessings:
