Even if nothing else called for thankfulness, the truth that Jesus Christ loves us and gave himself for us would always be an ample cause for it.

The voice of sin may be loud, but the voice of forgiveness is louder.
(Psalm 32:1-5)
(Matthew 6:14-15).
The next thing we need to have, if we would get our prayers answered, is unity.
Where there is bickering and divisions, and where the spirit of unity is absent, there is very little blessing and praise.
(1 Corinthians 12:4-6).
(John 13:35).
(1 Corinthians 1:10-13)
