Thanksgiving is simply an expression of gratitude to God. Expression of gratitude can be verbal and non-verbal, verbally we praise God with our mouth, and non-verbally we praise God with our hearts, our actions. Our gratitude must not always be verbal, it can also be non-verbal and acceptable to God and it must come from our heart. Who should give thanks to the lord? Let everything praise the lord both living and non-living. It is expected that every creature should praise the lord. Why is Thanksgiving to God for my good? Because thanksgiving is commanded by God. Thanksgiving is for our good. Thanksgiving crucifies our pride. Praise and thanksgiving attracts God's presence. Thanksgiving and praise changes our spiritual climate. It provokes God to action on our behalf Prayers Lord, help me to always thank you Lord, continue to strengthen me to give thanks to you
