Thank God for Sweet Communion with Him in Holy Ordinances

Thanksgiving 4.38 | NASB

For sweet communion with God in holy ordinances, and the communications of His favor.

I have drunk my fill of the abundance of Your house, and You have given me drink of the river of Your delights: for with You is the fountain of life; in Your light I see light. Psalm 36:8-9(NASB)

You have brought me to Your holy mountain and made me joyful in Your house of prayer; Isaiah 56:7(NASB) and I have found that for me the nearness of God is my good. Psalm 73:28(NASB)

I have reason to say that a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside, and that it is better to stand at the threshold of the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness; for the LORD God is a sun and shield; He gives grace and glory, and no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly: O LORD of hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You! Psalm 84:10-12(NASB)

In Your shade I have taken great delight and sat down, and Your fruit has been sweet to my taste; You have brought me to Your banquet hall, and Your banner over me has been love. Song of Solomon 2:3-4(NASB)

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)
