Thank God for the Performance of His Promises

Thanksgiving 4.41 | NIV

For the performance of God’s promises.

You have done good to your servant according to your word, O LORD; Psalm 119:65(NIV) and you have been ever mindful of your covenant, the word you commanded, for a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8(NIV)

Not one word has failed of all the good promises that you have promised to your servant David and your people Israel. 1 Kings 8:56(NIV)

And now, how can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me? Psalm 116:12(NIV) Let my soul be at rest once more and repose in him as its rest, for he has been good to me: Psalm 116:7(NIV) I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. Psalm 116:13(NIV) For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5(NIV)

I will extol the LORD at all times; yes, his praise will always be on my lips; Psalm 34:1(NIV) I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; Psalm 104:33(NIV) and I hope to be shortly with those blessed ones who dwell in his house above and are still praising him and who day and night never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.” Revelation 4:8(NIV)

Thank God for Support Under your Afflictions

Thanksgiving 4.40 | NIV

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

You have comforted me in all my troubles, 2 Corinthians 1:4(NIV) have seen my affliction and known the anguish of my soul; Psalm 31:7(NIV) you have shown your wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city. Psalm 31:21(NIV)

When afflictions have flowed into my life, comforts have much more overflowed. 2 Corinthians 1:5(NIV)

Though no affliction seems pleasant at the time, but painful; later on, however, it has produced a harvest of righteousness and peace, and has proved to be for my good, that I may share in your holiness. Hebrews 12:10-11(NIV)

I have had reason to say that it was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your commands; Psalm 119:71(NIV) for before I was afflicted I went astray, but afterwards I obeyed your word. Psalm 119:67(NIV)

It has been but for a little while that I may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials; and I beg that all the trials of my faith may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though I have not seen him, I love him; and even though I do not see him now, I believe in him and am filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, and am longing to receive the goal of my faith, the salvation of my soul. 1 Peter 1:6-9(NIV)

Thank God for Gracious Answers to your Prayers

Thanksgiving 4.39 | NIV

For gracious answers to my prayers.

I have reason to love you, O LORD, because you have heard my cries for mercy; Psalm 130:2(NIV) and because you have turned your ear to me, I will call on you as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2(NIV)

Out of the depths I have cried to you, O LORD, Psalm 130:1(NIV) and you have heard my vows and given me the heritage of those who fear your name. Psalm 61:5(NIV)

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

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry. Psalm 10:17(NIV)

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me; Psalm 66:20(NIV) for I have prayed and have gone away, and my face has no longer been sad. 1 Samuel 1:18(NIV)
