Psalm 103:2-4 Bless the Lord , O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Eight spiritual reasons to offer thanksgiving and praise to God.

2. God’s Healing – In Him the soul is made whole (Psa. 107:1-22).
3. God’s Redemption – In Him we stand redeemed (Rev. 5:9; Gal. 4:5; 1 Pet. 1:18-19).
4. God’s Grace – In Him we have received, grace, mercy, compassion, salvation and eternal blessings.
5. God’s Peace – In Him we have been given spiritual satisfaction, and sufficient strength for the journey (2 Cor. 12:9; Isa. 41:10; Phil. 4:13; Col. 1:11).
6. God’s Intercession – In Him we have One Who pleads our case (Rom. 8:34; Heb. 7:25; 1 John 2:2).
