Thank God for Support Under your Afflictions

Thanksgiving 4.40 | KJV

For support under my afflictions, and spiritual benefit and advantage by them.

Thou hast comforted me in all my tribulation; 2 Corinthians 1:4(KJV) hast considered my trouble, and known my soul in adversity, Psalm 31:7(KJV) and showed me thy marvellous kindness, as in a strong city. Psalm 31:21(KJV)

When afflictions have abounded, consolations have much more abounded. 2 Corinthians 1:5(KJV)

Though no afflictions for the present have been joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterwards it hath yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness, and hath proved to be for my profit, that I might be a partaker of thy holiness. Hebrews 12:10-11(KJV)

I have had reason to say that it was good for me I was afflicted, that I might learn thy commandments; Psalm 119:71(KJV) for before I was afflicted I went astray, but afterwards have kept thy word. Psalm 119:67(KJV)

It has been but for a season and when there was need, that I have been in heaviness, through manifold temptations; and I beg that all the trials of my faith may be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, I love, in whom, though I now see him not, yet believing, I rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, and am longing to receive the end of my faith, even the salvation of my soul. 1 Peter 1:6-9(KJV)

I have reason to love thee, O Lord, because thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, Psalm 130:2(KJV) and because thou hast inclined thine ear unto me; I will therefore call upon thee as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2(KJV)

Out of the depths I have called unto thee, O Lord, Psalm 130:1(KJV) and thou hast heard my vows and given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Psalm 61:5(KJV)

Nay, before I have called, thou hast answered; and while I have been yet speaking, thou hast heard, Isaiah 65:24(KJV) and hast said, Here I am, Isaiah 58:9(KJV) and hast been nigh unto me in all that which I call unto thee for. Deuteronomy 4:7(KJV)

Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble; thou wilt prepare their heart and cause thine ear to hear. Psalm 10:17(KJV)

Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer or his mercy from me; Psalm 66:20(KJV) for I have prayed and have gone away, and my countenance has been no more sad. 1 Samuel 1:18(KJV)

Thanksgiving 4.38 | KJV

For sweet communion with God in holy ordinances, and the communications of his favour.

Thou hast brought me to thy holy mountain and made me joyful in thy house of prayer; Isaiah 56:7(KJV) and I found it good for me to draw near to God. Psalm 73:28(KJV)

I have reason to say that a day in thy courts is better than a thousand, and that it is better to be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness; for the Lord God is a sun and shield; he will give grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Psalm 84:10-12(KJV)

I have sitten down under thy shadow with delight, and thy fruit hath been sweet unto my taste; thou hast brought me into the banqueting house, and thy banner over me has been love. Song of Solomon 2:3-4(KJV)

Thou hast not quenched the smoking flax, nor broke the bruised reed, Matthew 12:20(KJV) nor despised the day of small things; Zechariah 4:10(KJV) but having obtained help of God, I continue hitherto. Acts 26:22(KJV)

In the day when I cried thou answered me, and hast strengthened me with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3(KJV)

I have reason never to forget thy precepts, for by them thou hast quickened me; and unless thy law had been my delight, I should many a time have perished in my affliction; Psalm 119:92-93(KJV) for thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. Psalm 119:54(KJV)

Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence: But when I said, My foot slippeth, thy mercy, O Lord, held me up; and in the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts have been the delight of my soul. Psalm 94:17-19(KJV)

When thou broughtest me into the wilderness, yet there thou spakest comfortably to me, and gavest me my vineyard from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. Hosea 2:14-15(KJV)

For the preservation of Christianity in the world unto this day.
