Bible Verses About Thankfulness

Scripture on gratitude — verses to lift the eyes and steady the heart in every season.

Gratitude, in the Bible, is not a mood that depends on good circumstances. It is a discipline of noticing — of tracing every good gift back to the Giver.

These verses call us to give thanks not only when life is easy, but in everything.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18, KJV

In every thing — not for every thing, but in the midst of it all.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Psalm 100:4, KJV
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalm 107:1, KJV
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:17, KJV
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24, KJV

A verse to begin the morning with.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17, KJV
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:20, KJV

A grateful heart is not a naive one. It sees the hard things clearly and still chooses to count the mercies — and in the counting, it is quietly healed.
