(Read Psalm 104:2-15, 24) Even more important, we thank Jehovah for the abundant spiritual food  he provides and for the marveloushope we have for the future.

It can be so easy to forget to thank Jehovah for all that he does for us.What can help you to remember. You could make a list of specific requests you have made  and periodically check it to see how Jehovah answered them. Then say a prayer to thank him for his help. (Read 1 Thessalonians 5:17, 18)   Think about this: We feel happy and appreciated when others show gratitude to us.   likewise, when we remember to thank Jehovah for answering our prayers, it warms his heart.
