Being Thankful

It’s easy to give thanks to God when life is good, but often during hard times

we forget all that He has given us and neglect to thank Him and be grateful. This

isn’t right though, because while in the moment your situation might be miserable

God’s still taking care of you and working everything out for good. There are many

verses in the Bible that tell us to always be thankful.

Psalms 100:4

Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to

him and praise his name.

Psalms 118:29

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

Colossians 2:7

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your

faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with

thankfulness.

Colossians 3:15

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of

one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

Philippians 4:6

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you

need, and thank him for all he has done.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ

Jesus.Ephesians 5:20

And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus

Christ.

So basically no matter what you’re going through, look around for all the

tiny blessings that God has given you and give thanks to Him.
