How to thank God/Lord for giving me a job

Gratitude increases our blessings and best of all, it is the most powerful tool to attract Lord's mercy and continued favours. Thanking is not about saying some words, it is about making a positive assessment (evaluation) of a blessing or favor.

Acknowledge that Lord is the real creator of your job
Acknowledge that Lord is the real creator of every event. All creation belongs to Lord, and so is your job and your company/firm. Do your best to come up with reasons why Lord is the creator of your job.

Acknowledge you are not entitled to this job. It is only the result of Lord's mercy 
Entitlement mindset or deservedness is the biggest blockage in the way of feeling thankfulness for a blessing or Lord's favor. Tell Lord that you were not entitled to get this job as there were so many people looking to get this job and Lord picked you out of a large number of candidates. Acknowledge that you could have fallen ill, missed the train to reach the job interview due to an emergency. You could have failed to respond to the job offer on time and lost the opportunity. You could have forgotten how to stay calm during your interview and got rejected in the first place. All these events could have occurred, but our entitled mindset keeps us from feeling real gratitude our Lord's work and favor.

Think about benefits this job will bring you
Make a mental list of benefits this new job has brought you or will bring you in the future and tell Lord how much grateful you are for these existing and future benefits. Mention each of these benefits and thank Lord for them.
