Thank God for the Powerful Influences of Divine Grace

Thanksgiving 4.37 | NIV

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

You have not snuffed out the smoldering wick, nor broken the bruised reed, Matthew 12:20(NIV) nor despised the day of small things; Zechariah 4:10(NIV) but having had God’s help to this very day, I remain standing. Acts 26:22(NIV)

In the day when I called, you answered me; you have made me bold and stouthearted. Psalm 138:3(NIV)

I have always been with you; you have held me by my right hand, Psalm 73:23(NIV) when my feet had almost slipped, and I had nearly lost my foothold. Psalm 73:2(NIV)

I have reason never to forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life; and if your law had not been my delight, I would have many a time perished in my affliction; Psalm 119:92-93(NIV) for your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge. Psalm 119:54(NIV)

Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death: But when I said, “My foot is slipping,” your love, O LORD, supported me; and when anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. Psalm 94:17-19(NIV)

I bless you for the redemption I have through Christ’s blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of your grace that you have lavished on me. Ephesians 1:7-8(NIV)

That you have forgiven all my sins and healed all my diseases; Psalm 103:3(NIV) and in your love have kept me from the pit of destruction, for you have put all my sins behind your back. Isaiah 38:17(NIV)

When you led me into the desert, there you spoke tenderly to me, and gave me back my vineyard, and made the Valley of Achor a door of hope. Hosea 2:14-15(NIV)

Thank God for Every Spirit-Wrought Inward Change

Thanksgiving 4.35 | NIV

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

And has God by his grace brought me out of the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of the Son he loves? Colossians 1:13(NIV) Has he called me into fellowship with Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 1:9(NIV) and brought me, who by nature was far away, near through his blood? Ephesians 2:13(NIV) Not to my name, O LORD, not to my name but to your name be the glory. Psalm 115:1(NIV)

I always thank God for those to whom the gospel has come not simply with words, but with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. 1 Thessalonians 1:5(NIV)

You have loved me with an everlasting love; you have drawn me with loving-kindness. Jeremiah 31:3(NIV) You have led me with cords of human kindness and with ties of love. Hosea 11:4(NIV)

When the strong man, fully armed, guarded his house in my heart, and his possessions were safe, One stronger than he attacked him and took away the armor in which he trusted and divided up the spoils. Luke 11:21-22(NIV)
