O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior (Psalm 38:9, 22).
As you cry, whisper a prayer of thanks. The Lord understands and will help.
Come into his presence with thanksgiving (Psalm 95:2).
Enter his gates with thanksgiving (Psalm 100:4).
Thanksgiving acknowledges God’s generosity and goodness.
I will give thanks to you, Lord,
with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds (Psalm 9:1 bold mine).
We choose to be thankful to God.
People who depend on God know that apart from Him “we can do nothing (John 15:5).”
They also know that “every good gift is from above, coming down from the Father (James 1:17).”
That’s why their prayers are full of thanksgiving.
Created by God.
God richly provides us with everything to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).
Thank you, Lord.
