1. I will recognize that every good thing I have comes from God.

Every good and perfect gift is from above … 
James 1:17a

2. I will not let what I want rob me of thankfulness for what I have.

… for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:11-13

3. I will turn every blessing  I have into praise.

Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things… 

Psalm 103:1-5 (NLT)
