The Bible is full of encouragements to be more thankful. The word “thank,” and variations of the same are used at least 139 times in the Bible, most often with the thanks being directed at God.
Thankful people are happy people. In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. Gratitude helps people refocus on what they have instead of what they lack. Write a thank-you note. Thank someone mentally. Keep a gratitude journal. Count your blessings. Pray. Meditate.
Then I will praise God’s name with singing and I will honor him with thanksgiving. For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing cattle, more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves. The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged. For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people. Praise him, O heaven and earth, the seas and all that move in them.
