In All Things

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever." Psalm 136:1

This Thanksgiving, be in prayer for those who are finding it hard to be thankful. For the needy, the poor, the suffering, the grieving, the lost, this day can carry much pain, because there are times when we just don’t feel thankful. We feel the weight of a world that is broken by sin, and we are desperate for rescue and for hope.

Jesus bore our griefs and our sorrow. You are not alone my friend; He is waiting for you to come and lay your life before Him. He loves you far more than you can imagine. May you find that there is always a reason to thank God. He sees your every need, and in all things, He is worthy of praise.

“Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord.” Psalm 150:6

IN ALL THINGS
Give thanks in the sunlight
And thanks through the night
Give thanks when it’s raining
And thanks when it’s dry

Give thanks when you’re happy
And thanks through your tears
Give thanks for the Savior
Who calms all our fears

Give thanks for those present
And thanks for those not
Give thanks to the Lord
Who is seeking the lost

Give thanks for the wayward
Though he’s on the wrong path
Give thanks for repentance
And the road that leads back

Give thanks for the pardon
Jesus bought with His blood
Give thanks for forgiveness
And thanks for His love

Give thanks for the Shepherd
Who goes after the sheep
Give thanks to the Son
For His love that runs deep

Give thanks for His mercy
And grace without measure
Give thanks for His presence
And thanks for this treasure

Give thanks in your joy
And thanks in your sorrow
Give thanks for today
And thanks for tomorrow

Give thanks when you feel it
And thanks when you don’t
Give thanks for He’s with you
He won’t leave you alone

Give thanks through the trials
And even through tears
Give thanks for He sees you
And calms all your fears

Give thanks He’s been with you
Through highs and through lows
Give thanks that he loves you
And will not let you go

Give thanks for the hope
That he gives us each day
Give thanks and remember
His love leads the way.

Psalm 94:14 - “For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.”
