Give Thanks to the Lord

"It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God; to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord."

The last sentence of Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation October 3, 1863

"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God..."

1 Thessalonians 5.13

"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;I will recount all of your wonderful deeds."
Psalm 9.1

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."
Philippians 4.6
