When Seph Schlueter released Counting My Blessings, it wasn’t just another catchy worship track — it was a declaration of gratitude that resonated across continents. Written with Jonathan Gamble and Jordan Sapp, the song was born from a desire to encourage believers to give thanks in all circumstances, echoing the call of 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” What started as a heartfelt writing session became a viral anthem, topping charts in the U.S. and unexpectedly in Brazil, where it became the only English song on Spotify’s Viral 50.
Seph’s own journey into music is rooted in a deep love for Jesus and a desire to write songs that connect the human heart to Him in every season. His style blends organic pop sensibilities with lyrics that feel like a conversation with a close friend — honest, hopeful, and anchored in truth. Counting My Blessings is no exception. It’s a song that doesn’t shy away from the reality of struggle, but insists on seeing God’s fingerprints in every detail.
For me, this song is more than a melody — it’s a mirror of my own redemption story. There was a time I lost everything: relationships I thought would last, the stability I depended on, even my sense of who I was. I lived like the world was my source, blind to the quiet gifts God had placed in my life. When He stripped it all away, I didn’t understand. But looking back, I see now that He was preparing me for something greater — a new life in Him.
Hearing Seph sing, “It’s like it was yesterday I was praying for a miracle… and now looking back today, seeing all the things You’ve done, I can’t even add them up”, I feel that truth in my bones. Even in the seasons when I thought God was silent, His goodness never stopped flowing. Psalm 28:7 says, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” That’s what this song does — it turns my eyes from what’s missing to the countless ways He’s been faithful.
I’m still waiting for some prayers to be answered. I’m still trusting for restoration in areas that feel barren. But Counting My Blessings reminds me that gratitude isn’t about having everything I want — it’s about recognizing that in Christ, I already have everything I need. And the more I count, the more I see.
So here’s my nudge to you: don’t wait for life to be perfect before you start counting. Start now. Write them down. Speak them out loud. Thank Him for the obvious blessings and the hidden ones. Because gratitude shifts the heart, strengthens the spirit, and opens our eyes to the God who is always at work. One, two, three… up to infinity. Keep counting. And don’t stop.
