Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:1-6
O God, when you led your people out from Egypt, when you marched through the dry wasteland, the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down rain before you, the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. You sent abundant rain, O God to refresh the weary land. There your people finally settled, and with a bountiful harvest, O God, you provided your needy people. Psalm 68:7-10
The earth is full of your creatures. Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every kind, both large and small. See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea. They all depend on you to give them food as they need it. When you supply it, they gather it. You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied. But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust. When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth. Psalm 104:24-30
I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to to heaven you are there, if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night - but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. Psalm 139:7-12
As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay. Psalm 40:17
Though I am overwhelmed by my sins, you forgive them all. What joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts. Psalm 65:3-4
Answers my prayers, O Lord, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful. Psalm 69:16

GOD'S PROMISES - THANK YOU
In all things, give thanks. No matter what you may be going through in life, be sure to give thanks to the Lord for the positive things, in your life.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - how well I know it.

And when I wake up, you are still with me! Psalm 139:13-18
Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Psalm 28:6-7
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way! Matthew 11:25-26
I thank you, O God! I give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds. Psalm 75:1
Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me. John 11:41-42
I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory! Psalm 118:21
