40 Reasons for Thanksgiving 

REASON #17: For the Gift of Protection

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. (Psalms 23:4 NLT)

I have been given God’s protection from many difficulties that are known and unknown by me. The assurance of God’s presence in my life has given me comfort. Do I thank Him only during an apparent threat, or will I thank Him even though I do see a threat coming? If I do not recognize His protection of preventing things that could hurt me, am I also one who does not return to thank Him?
