Thank God for Support Under your Afflictions

Thanksgiving 4.40 | NASB

For support under my afflictions, and spiritual benefit and advantage by them.

You have comforted me in all my affliction, 2 Corinthians 1:4(NASB) have seen my affliction and known the troubles of my soul; Psalm 31:7(NASB) You have made marvelous Your steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city. Psalm 31:21(NASB)

When afflictions have abounded, comforts have much more abounded. 2 Corinthians 1:5(NASB)

Though all discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it has yielded the peaceful fruit of righteousness, and has proved to be for my good, so that I might share Your holiness. Hebrews 12:10-11(NASB)

I have had reason to say that it was good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes; Psalm 119:71(NASB) for before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. Psalm 119:67(NASB)

It has been but for a little while, and when it was necessary, that I was distressed by various trials; and I beg that all the trials of my faith may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ, Whom, though I have not seen, I love; though I do not see Him now, yet I believe in Him and greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, and am longing to obtain the outcome of my faith, the salvation of my soul. 1 Peter 1:6-9(NASB)

Thank God for Gracious Answers to your Prayers

Thanksgiving 4.39 | NASB

For gracious answers to my prayers.

I have reason to love You, O LORD, because You have heard the voice of my supplications, Psalm 130:2(NASB) and because You have inclined Your ear to me; I will therefore call upon You as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2(NASB)

Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD, Psalm 130:1(NASB) and You have heard my vows and given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name. Psalm 61:5(NASB)

Indeed, before I have called, You have answered; and while I have been still speaking, You have heard, Isaiah 65:24(NASB) and have said, “Here I am,” Isaiah 58:9(NASB) and have been near to me whenever I call on You. Deuteronomy 4:7(NASB)

LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, and incline Your ear to hear. Psalm 10:17(NASB)

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer nor His lovingkindness from me; Psalm 66:20(NASB) for I have prayed and have gone away, and my face has been no longer sad. 1 Samuel 1:18(NASB)

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)
