Thank God for the Measure of Peace you Experience

Thanksgiving 4.9 | ESV

For our own share in the public plenty, peace, and tranquility.

When I have eaten and am full, I have reason to bless you for the good land that you have given me, Deuteronomy 8:10(ESV) a land which the eyes of the LORD my God are always upon, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Deuteronomy 11:12(ESV)

You make peace in my borders and fill me with the finest of the wheat: Psalm 147:14(ESV) I am delivered from the sound of archers at the watering places; there, therefore, will I repeat the righteous triumphs of the LORD, the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel. Judges 5:11(ESV)

I thank you that the powers that are set over me are servants of God for my good; Romans 13:4(ESV) that they seek the welfare of your people and speak peace to all your people. Esther 10:3(ESV)

Thank God for your Successes and Good Relationships

Thanksgiving 4.8 | ESV

For success in our callings and affairs, comfort in relations, and comfortable places of abode.

It is God who equips me with strength and makes my way blameless, Psalm 18:32(ESV) who has blessed the work of my hands; Job 1:10(ESV) and it may be that though my beginning was small, yet my latter days will be very great. Job 8:7(ESV)

My house has been safe from fear, and there has been no rod of God upon me; Job 21:9(ESV) so that glad songs of salvation have been in my tent from day to day. Psalm 118:15(ESV)

With my staff it may be I have crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps; Genesis 32:10(ESV) and it is God who settles the solitary in homes. Psalm 68:6(ESV)

If I have enjoyed life with my relations, Ecclesiastes 9:9(ESV) and they have been to me as a lovely deer, a graceful doe, Proverbs 5:19(ESV) I must give you thanks for it; for every creature is that to me, and no more, that you make it to be.

Thank God for the Supports and Comforts of this Life

Thanksgiving 4.7 | ESV

For the supports and comforts of this life, which have thus far made the land of our pilgrimage easy and pleasant to us.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears me up; God is my salvation. Psalm 68:19(ESV)

You make me lie down in green pastures; you feed me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:2(ESV) You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head, and my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5(ESV)

It may be I was sent out with no moneybag or knapsack, but did I lack anything? Nothing, Lord. Luke 22:35(ESV)

The lamp of God has shone upon my head, and by his light I have walked through darkness, and the friendship of God has been upon my tent. Job 29:3-4(ESV)

You have richly provided me with everything to enjoy, 1 Timothy 6:17(ESV) and have brought plentifully into my hand. Job 12:6(KJV)

Many a time I have eaten and been filled, and have delighted myself in your great goodness. Nehemiah 9:25(ESV)

When I remember all the ways that the LORD my God has led me for so many years in this wilderness, Deuteronomy 8:2(ESV) I must here set up a stone and call it Ebenezer, for till now the LORD has helped me. 1 Samuel 7:12(ESV)

Thank God for Granting you Recovery from Danger

Thanksgiving 4.6 | ESV

For signal recoveries from danger by sickness or otherwise.

When perhaps there has been but a step between me and death, 1 Samuel 20:3(ESV) and when I have felt that I have received the sentence of death, 2 Corinthians 1:9(ESV) and have been ready to say, “In the middle of my days I must depart; I am consigned to the gates of Sheol for the rest of my years”; Isaiah 38:10(ESV) yet in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction and cast all my sins behind your back. Isaiah 38:17(ESV)

When the snares of death have encompassed me and the pangs of Sheol have laid hold on me, I have called on the name of the LORD and have found that gracious is the LORD, and righteous, yes, my God is merciful; I have been brought low, and he has saved me, Psalm 116:3-6(ESV) and has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling. I will therefore walk before the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 116:8-9(ESV)
