thanks God/thank God: Common Errors in English Usage Entry for Thursday, April 24, 2014

thanks God/thank God
I suppose if you wanted to express your gratitude directly to the deity you might appropriately say “Thanks, God, for helping our team win the big game.” More appropriate is something more formal, like “Thank you, God.” In any case, the general expression when it’s not specifically meant as a prayer is not “thanks God,” but “thank God.” Not “Thanks God Emily hit a homer in this last inning,” but “thank God“ she did.
