Give Thanks to the Lord

The prophet Alma taught his people the importance of gratitude towards the Lord.

…He commanded them that…every day they should give thanks to the Lord their God.” (Mosiah 18:23)

Questions:

-Is it natural to give thanks when one understands what God has given in Jesus Christ and the Atonement he worked out in the behalf of all?

-Is it natural not to be grateful if this understanding isn’t in place?

-How important is it to understand our relationship to Christ and God the Father in order to maintain a connection with heaven through the Spirit?

-What does it look like, in a day-to-day life, to give thanks to the Lord?
