Thank God for the Powerful Influences of Divine Grace

Thanksgiving 4.37 | ESV

For the powerful influences of divine grace to sanctify and preserve us, to prevent our falling into sin, and to strengthen us in doing our duty.

You have not put out the smoldering wick, nor broken off the battered reed, Matthew 12:20(NASB) nor despised the day of small things; Zechariah 4:10(NASB) but having obtained help from God, I stand to this day. Acts 26:22(NASB)

On the day I called, You answered me; and have made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3(NASB)

I have been continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand, Psalm 73:23(NASB) when my feet came close to stumbling, and my steps had almost slipped. Psalm 73:2(NASB)

I have reason never to forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me; and if Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction many a time; Psalm 119:92-93(NASB) for Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. Psalm 119:54(NASB)

If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence: But when I said, “My foot has slipped,” Your lovingkindness, O LORD, held me up; and when my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. Psalm 94:17-19(NASB)

Thank God for the Remission of Sins and Peace of Conscience

Thanksgiving 4.36 | NASB

I must give thanks for the remission of my sins and the peace of my conscience.

I bless You for the redemption I have through Christ’s blood, the forgiveness of my trespasses, according to the riches of Your grace, which You have lavished on me. Ephesians 1:7-8(NASB)

That You have pardoned all my iniquities and healed all my diseases; Psalm 103:3(NASB) and it is You who have kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back. Isaiah 38:17(NASB)

When You brought me into the wilderness, there You spoke kindly to me, and gave me my vineyard from there, and the valley of Achor as a door of hope. Hosea 2:14-15(NASB)

Thank God for Every Spirit-Wrought Inward Change

Thanksgiving 4.35 | NASB

I must bless God if there is a saving change wrought in me by His blessed Spirit.

And has God by His grace transferred me from the domain of darkness to the kingdom of His beloved Son? Colossians 1:13(NASB) Has He called me into fellowship with Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 1:9(NASB) and brought me near by His blood, who by nature was far off? Ephesians 2:13(NASB) Not to myself, O LORD, not to myself, but to Your name I give glory. Psalm 115:1(NASB)

I give thanks to God always for those to whom the gospel has come not in word only, but in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. 1 Thessalonians 1:5(NASB)

You have loved me with an everlasting love; therefore you have drawn me with lovingkindness. Jeremiah 31:3(NASB) You have led me with cords of a man, with bonds of love. Hosea 11:4(NASB)

When the strong man, fully armed, guarded his palace in my heart, and his possessions were undisturbed, someone stronger than he attacked him and took away his armor on which he had relied and distributed the plunder. Luke 11:21-22(NASB)
