Thankfulness

Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts.

[Andrew Murray]



Psalm 50:14 ... Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:


Psalm 95:2 ... Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.


Psalm 100:4 ... Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

 
Colossians 4:2 ... Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;


Philippians 4:6 ... Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
