I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart;    I will sing your praises before the gods.2 I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.    I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness;for your promises are backed    by all the honor of your name.3 As soon as I pray, you answer me;    you encourage me by giving me strength.--- Psalm 138:1-3 NLTThanksgiving should be an integral part of our praise to God. This theme is woven throughout the Psalms. As we praise and thank God for material and spiritual blessings, we should also thank him for answered prayer. Remember when you asked God for protection, strength, comfort, patience, love, or other special needs, and he supplied them. Beware of taking God’s provision and answered prayer for granted.--- NLT Life Application Study Bible notes
