“Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
