Thanksgiving
belongs to prayer. Thanksgiving is a true inward acknowledgement, we applying
ourselves with great reverence and loving fear with all our powers to the work
that God moved us to, rejoicing and given thanks inwardly. And so the power of
the Lord’s word enters the soul and enlivens the heart and makes us rejoice in
the Lord.

Beautifully expressed. Gratitude is at the centre of our faith.
