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)

Thank God for Making you in His Image

Thanksgiving 4.4 | NIV

2dly, With reference to myself in particular.

I must give thanks that he has made me a reasonable creature, capable of knowing, loving, serving, and enjoying him, and that he has not made me like the beasts that perish.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and my soul, my nobler part, knows that full well; Psalm 139:14(NIV) for no one knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him. 1 Corinthians 2:11(NIV)

You have made me of that rank of beings which is a little lower than the heavenly beings and is crowned with glory and honor; Psalm 8:5(NIV) for it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding; Job 32:8(NIV) and the spirit of man is the LORD’s lamp. Proverbs 20:27(NIV)

My body is capable of being the temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19(NIV) and my soul of having God’s Spirit live in it; 1 Corinthians 3:16(NIV) I therefore honor you with my body and with my spirit, which are yours. 1 Corinthians 6:20(KJV)

You, Lord, have formed me for yourself that I might proclaim your praise. Isaiah 43:21(NIV)
