Hugely. Because it deepens OUR gratitude. Not because it adds anything to God’s satisfaction, esteem, etc.

More important than thanking a friend or family member for a gift. God gives life (and what we need to sustain it). Above, you “thanked” the form members here even before an answer appeared to your question. Prayers letting God know that you appreciate Him and what he has done (and will do) are certainly very important.
 
I think it is extremely important. We should always try to be thankful. Remember, being thankful is not just for Thanksgiving. ;)😛
 
Do you know the Gospel story of the ten lepers? Jesus cured ten lepers and only one came back to thank Him. He expressed disappointment that the others did not return with thanksgiving also. That tells me it’s pretty darned important.

Yes, that is an excellent answer.

If one wants to read it, the story can be found in Luke 17:11-19

i reckon its pretty important…say for example somebody asked you to do them a huge favour and you did and they never said thank you and maybe even forgot about you cos they were so wrapped up in what you have given them wouldnt you feel hurt, sad, maybe even frustrated and annoyed…thats how it must feel for god when we forget to thank him:)
