Praise be to the Lord, to God my Savior, who daily bears my burdens. Psalm 68:19(NIV)

You make me lie down in green pastures; you feed me beside quiet waters. Psalm 23:2(NIV) You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head, and my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5(NIV)

It may be I was sent forth without purse or bag, but did I lack anything? Nothing, Lord. Luke 22:35(NIV)

The lamp of God has shone upon my head, and by his light I have walked through darkness; God’s intimate friendship has blessed my house. Job 29:3-4(NIV)

Thank God for Granting you Recovery from Danger

Thanksgiving 4.6 | NIV

For signal recoveries from danger by sickness or otherwise.

When perhaps there has been but a step between me and death, 1 Samuel 20:3(NIV) and when I felt the sentence of death in my heart, 2 Corinthians 1:9(NIV) and have been ready to say, “In the prime of my life must I go through the gates of death and be robbed of the rest of my years?” Isaiah 38:10(NIV) Yet in your love you have kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back. Isaiah 38:17(NIV)

When the cords of death have entangled me and the anguish of the grave has come upon me, I have called upon the name of the LORD and have found that the LORD is gracious and righteous; my God is full of compassion. When I was in great need, he saved me; Psalm 116:3-6(NIV) he has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling. I will therefore walk before the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 116:8-9(NIV)

Thank God for Preserving you

Thanksgiving 4.5 | NIV

I must give thanks for my preservation; that my life is prolonged, and the use of my reason and understanding, my limbs and senses, are continued to me.

It was owing to your good providence that I did not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb; that there were knees to receive me, and breasts that I might be nursed. Job 3:11-12(NIV)

Though I was called a rebel from birth, Isaiah 48:8(NIV) yet by your power I have been upheld since my conception and carried since my birth; Isaiah 46:3(NIV) and you preserve my life and keep my feet from slipping. Psalm 66:9(NIV)

My whole being shall exclaim, “Who is like you, O LORD?” Psalm 35:10(NIV) For you protect the bones, not one of them will be broken. Psalm 34:20(NIV)

I lie down and sleep, for you, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8(NIV)

You have commanded your angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways; to lift me up in their hands, so that I do not strike my foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12(NIV) And they are all ministering spirits sent to serve for the good of those who will inherit salvation. Hebrews 1:14(NIV)
