Psalm 105:5 / NLT, “Remember the wonders God has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given”
1. Make a gratitude list to help remember and appreciate my blessings.
Psalm 103: 1-5 / CSB, “My soul, bless the Lord, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 My soul, bless the Lord, and do not forget all his benefits. 3 He forgives all your iniquity; he heals all your diseases. 4 He redeems your life from the Pit; he crowns you with faithful love and compassion. 5 He satisfies you with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle.”
epilanthánomai:“To forget; neglect, uncared for”
Gratitude List from Psalm 103:3-5
Forgiveness: twisted thinking forgiven
Healing: body and soul is cured
Redemption:rescue from the pits of life
Crowns: covered by Gos’s mercy
Satisfies: positioned to soar
Psalm 9:1 / ESV, “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.”
2. Take time to
Psalm 103:6-10 / CSB, “The Lord executes acts of righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 7 He revealed his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel. 8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love. 9 He will not always accuse us or be angry forever. 10 He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities.”
Psalm 77:14, 19 / NIV, “You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. 19 “Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.”
3. Shake off forgetfulness by
Psalm 103:11-12 / CSB, “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his faithful love toward those who fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Lamentations 3:23 / NLT, “Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.”
