7 Things We Don’t Thank God for Enough

1. Thank God for the Good Things in Your Life

James 1:17 - “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

Thank you for the good things in my life. I don’t say thank you enough and I want to give credit where credit is due. I know everything good in my life is from you, for you, and only because of you.

Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 - “Rejoice always.”

Thank you for every circumstance in my life right now. Even though I do not understand everything and cannot figure everything out, I want to thank you. I know you are working all things out. I trust you have a plan. I believe you will get the glory so I am going to thank you ahead of time.

Amen.

3. Thank God for His Presence in Your Life

Psalm 100:4 - “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”

Thank you today for a new day. Thank you for breath in my lungs and a heart that is pumping. Thank you for new mercy and grace for another day. Thank you for the people I will come in contact with today. I praise you for a new day to thank you.

Amen.

Genesis 2:7 - “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”

As I take a deep breath in and exhale, I want to thank you for giving me another day to live. Life might not be perfect, but I want to thank you for another day of it.

Amen.

5. Thank God for Prayer

John 9:31 - “Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.”

Thank you for this beautiful way I have to communicate my thanks, my needs, and my heart to you. I know I don’t deserve to be in your presence, but thank you for making a way for me to be able to talk to you anytime, anywhere.

Amen.

James 4:8 – “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

Thank you for allowing me to be near to you. Thank you for drawing me close to you even when I don’t deserve it. Thank you for the ability to be near to you.

Amen.

7. Thank God for His Sovereignty

Romans 8:28 - “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

Thank you that even when I cannot see it, you are at work. Thank you that even though I don’t always feel it, you hear my prayer and know my need. Thank you for your sovereignty over my life and each step I take.

Amen.
