Thanksgiving Verses
Thanksgiving verses are found throughout Scripture, and are particularly prolific in the Psalms. An "attitude of gratitude" makes life's tough situations easier to handle. As one old saying aptly puts it: I pitied the man who had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet."
Regardless of how difficult our circumstances may be, there is always someone worse off than we are. And giving thanks in the midst of trouble is one of the most powerful actions we can take.
Here are some Thanksgiving verses, also known as Thanksgiving Day prayers, to lift your thoughts heavenward:
-Psalm 100: 4-5
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
- I Chronicles 16:8-9
In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
- I Thessalonians 5: 18

by whom their steps were led,
And thanks unto the harvest's Lord
who sends our daily bread.
