Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NLT‬

Giving thanks to God is harder than we like to admit. There was a philosopher that said sin makes each of us naturally “curved inward” or self-absorbed and viciously self-seeking.  We tend to ignore God’s goodness and compassion or at-least minimize it until it’s so obvious that we have to give Him praise.
I would like to think it's more likely that most of us fit in the last category. God is so good that we begin to minimize how good he actually is to us. We live our days in his goodness and forget to say thank you or walk in gratitude because his goodness becomes common. Purpose during this season not to treat God common. Take every opportunity to give him praise.

Genuine thanksgiving to God is possible in Christ. This takes careful thought, disciplined prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
