Isaiah 55:8-9

”For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.  “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”  

NLT:  “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, “ says the Lord.  “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.  For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts”

Colossians 4:2

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

NLT:  Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.

Psalm 116:17

I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord.

NLT:  I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.
