I Will Give Thanks To You, For You Have Answered Me

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with gratitude for God’s presence in your life? 

This psalm is a joyous expression of that feeling. The psalmist declares God’s goodness and everlasting mercy. He proclaims that God is his strength, savior, and source of victory. Despite facing challenges, God has preserved him, allowing him to live and declare God’s works. The psalmist concludes by seeking entrance to the gates of righteousness, acknowledging it as the path to thanking God.

This psalm is a beautiful reminder to take time to thank God for answered prayers, big or small. Even in difficult times, God’s faithfulness endures. Let us open our hearts to God’s presence and declare His marvelous works in our lives.  

Remember to never take God’s goodness and mercy for granted.

Ask Yourself

How can I more actively show gratitude for God’s blessings in my daily life?

Let Us Pray

Loving God, thank You for Your enduring love and faithfulness. Help us to always praise You and share Your works with the world. Amen.
