I Thessalonians 5:17 - "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine."

One of the things we take for granted is that we have a man of God here who works extremely hard at helping us fulfill God's will for our lives. Let's tell the Lord how thankful we are for our pastor.  Let's show our pastor how thankful we are by putting into practice the things he gives us from God's Word. - Jason Myers

1 John 3:22 - "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight." Psalm 66:18 - "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." If we have an unforgiving heart, bitterness, or any unconfessed sin, then our prayers fall on deaf ears. But if we are living a life that is pleasing to God and do what He says, He will grant us anything that we ask for. Keep in mind that whatever we are praying for should also be pleasing to God. - Garrett Longest

Philippians 4:6-7 - “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” We are to come to Christ by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving for all our cares whether small or large. I Peter 5: 7 states, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” Verse 6 reminds us to bring all our requests to God with thanksgiving.  We all have much to thank Christ Jesus starting with our salvation, family, and church. - Clifford Myers

John 14:13,14 - "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." As fathers, we want to provide the best for our children even if they don't ask.  How does God want to provide for us?  Jesus tells us twice in a row...ask in his name and he will do it.  There's no limit if we ask with the right heart. -Phil Dann

Psalm 100:4 - "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name." - I would encourage everyone to read this short psalm today as we remember His great blessing and provision. Sunday Evening was such a blessing seeing how God has been good to us this year.  Let's not just remember God's goodness, but share it with others today. - Matt Stephens

1 Corinthians 10:13 - "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man..."  Hebrews 4:15, "...but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."  One of the devil's attacks is to accuse you for being tempted. Remember, all temptations are shared by your fellows, and what's more, were presented to Christ during His life on earth. Just as He said no to every temptation, there is no wicked thought or deed that we can't refuse. - Daniel Holser

Psalm 65:2,4 -  O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah." These are some awesome facts about what is to come, that are stated as exactly that in Psalms, facts.  There is no question that every man on this earth will sing the praise and glory of His name. I am so thankful that as Christians, we get to sing praise from grateful hearts and not by force as many will before they are cast into hell. Let's not forget to sing those praises for all His goodness in this busy time of the year. - Brian Boots
