I’ve never thought of thanks and power as being in the same sentence. But in John’s description of Jesus feeding 5,000 with only two fish and five barley loaves, thanks is at the center.
Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them… So also the fish, as much as they wanted. – John 6.11
Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. – John 6.23
He was thankful before the thing happened to be thankful for.
