(Psalms 95:2 LSB) Praise Yah! Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever. (Psalms 106:1 LSB) Let us receive all that He has so generously given with thanksgiving. O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. (Psalms 30:3-4 NKJV) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. (Psalms 69:30 NKJV)

Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises. Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling. — Psalms 66:8-9 (NLT) When you go through deep waters, He will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. (See Isaiah 43:2 NLT) Even though we go through fire and flood, He will bring us to a place of great abundance. (See Psalms 66:12 NLT) He crowns the year with His goodness, and His paths drip with abundance. …even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.

One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. — Luke 18:1 (NLT) “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7 NKJV) Pray without ceasing. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:17 & James 5:16 NASB1995) Keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking. “For the eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears attend to their prayer, but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12 NASB1995)

Be eager to do what is right. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. (See Psalms 84:11 NLT) Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ (See Mark 12:30 NLT) And continue to follow Him, even in the wilderness, in the deep waters and in the desert. He makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters. He is able to make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (See Isaiah 43:16 & 19 NKJV) Our mighty GOD can turn the barren wilderness into a fruitful field.

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You;
 My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NKJV) Seek Him early and often. Seek Him urgently, with every fiber of your being. Yahweh is the only One Who can satisfy. He opens His hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. (See Psalms 145:16-17 NASB1995) And Yahweh will continually guide you, and satisfy your soul in scorched places, and fortify your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. (Isaiah 58:11 LSB) May His glorious name be praised! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. — Psalms 63:4-5 (NLT)
