Let us come before Him with thanksgiving
and extol Him with music and song.
Psalm 95:2
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise,
give thanks to Him and praise His name.
Psalm 100:4
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
