To Give Thanks to God

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will... (1
Thessalonians, 5:18)

And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you,
because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks
be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians, 9:14-

15)

He [Jesus] told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When
he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke
them and gave them to his disciples to set before the peo-
ple, and they did so. They had a few small fish as well; he
gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to dis-
tribute them. (Mark, 8:6-7)

For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be re-
jected if it is received with thanksgiving. (1 Timothy, 4:4)

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
(Colossians, 4:2)

He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He
who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to
God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives
thanks to God. (Romans, 14:6)
