How do you thank God when your world feels like it’s falling apart?

What if gratitude feels forced or fake when life is hard?

Can faith and grief coexist when you’re raising an autistic or medically complex child?

If you’re an overwhelmed autism mom trying to thank God this week but nothing feels okay, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about how to thank God when you don’t feel thankful — when your heart is heavy, your child is struggling, and gratitude feels impossible.

Whether you’re navigating medical issues, meltdowns, therapies, sleepless nights, or quiet grief no one sees, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and reconnect with God. You don’t have to force gratitude. You don’t have to pretend everything is fine. You can thank God right in the middle of the storm you’re walking through.

Inside this episode, we’ll talk about: • Why gratitude feels so hard for autism moms and moms of children with disabilities • What the Bible actually says about giving thanks “in all circumstances” • How to practice gratitude when you’re exhausted, afraid, or grieving • Paul & Silas and what their worship in suffering teaches us • Simple, practical ways to practice gratitude this Thanksgiving week • How gratitude can reshape your perspective, faith, and emotional strength
