gratitude

the bible has much to say about gratitude--particularly, paul in his epistles. 

In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 
1 Thessalonians 5:18 

And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 
Colossians 3: 15-17 

...be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another [in] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. 
Ephesians 5: 18-20 

Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 
Philippians 4: 6-7 

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 
1 Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ and manifests through us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place. 
2 Corinthians 2:14 

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! 
2 Corinthians 9:15
