"Our deepest sense of gratitude comes through
grace, with the awareness that we have not
earned, nor do we deserve all that we've been
given." Gregg Krech

3. Gratitude shifts what we speak and what
we seek.
Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven.
Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) 7 Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he
that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall
be opened.

4. Matthew 8:24-27 (KJV)
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea,
insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves:
but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him,
saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of
little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and
the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man
is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

5. Luke 17:11-19 (NIV)
Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border
between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village,
ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance
13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the
priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising
God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and
thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other
nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this
foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has
made you well.”

6. Psalm 22:3 (KJV)
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the
praises of Israel.
Psalm 22:3 (AMP)
3 But You are holy,
O You who are enthroned in [the holy place
where] the praises of Israel [are offered].

7. Matthew 9:20-22 (KJV)
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with
an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him,
and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his
garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw
her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy
faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was
made whole from that hour.
