Being able to express gratitude is dependent upon acknowledging that all you possess derives from the Lord God. I’m aware of the belief that if it were not for our education, intelligence, and work ethic, we humans could not possibly manage for our needs and ambitions. Have you thanked God for the privilege of work?
It’s important to realize what you have is directly related to other people’s talents and skills, like your phone and computer. Have you expressed gratitude and appreciation for the benefits that make your life pleasant? Think of all the medications that keep you and others healthy.
Your most important blessing is that God chose to call you to himself. Listen to David’s witness in 2 Samuel 22:17. “God reached down and took hold of me and drew me out of deep waters.” By faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross you are cleansed for all eternity, so be thankful and appreciative to God for his kindness.

Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his
benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems
your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies
all your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
