Give thanks for the Help

1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

2Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—

those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

3those he gathered from the lands,

from east and west, from north and south.^a

4Some wandered in desert wastelands,

finding no way to a city where they could settle.

5They were hungry and thirsty,

and their lives ebbed away.

6Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

7He led them by a straight way

to a city where they could settle.

8Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

9for he satisfies the thirsty

and fills the hungry with good things. (Psalm 107)

Thoughts: The redeemed are to tell their story for which they give thanks.  They are to tell others how God helped them out of their bad situation.  Some were lost wandering in the desert with no way to get out until they called to the Lord who made a way for them when there was no way.  The people of Israel were that way- God provided manna- daily bread for them.
So how has God helped you this year?  Write down at least one thing for which you are thankful.  Recognize God does not ignore you but answers your prayer and helps you.  

Prayer: Lord, help me to see your hand and tell my story.
