*1.* “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” *2* “Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.” *3* “Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his praise?” *4* “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
