Thank God for Believers is the seventh studio album by American country music artist Mark Chesnutt. His third album for Decca Records, it produced four singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts between 1997 and 1998: the title track (number 2), "It's Not Over" (number 34), "I Might Even Quit Lovin' You" (number 18), and "Wherever You Are" (number 45). "Wherever You Are" was the first single of Chesnutt's career to miss the Top 40 on the country charts. With this album, Chesnutt is also reunited with producer Mark Wright, who produced Chesnutt's first four MCA Nashville albums.

"It's Not Over" was previously recorded by Chesnutt on his third album, 1992's Longnecks & Short Stories, and before that by Reba McEntire on her 1984 album My Kind of Country. The version included on this album is the same as on Longnecks & Short Stories. Chesnutt chose to include it because he felt that it should have been released as a single from the original album, and suggested that it be included to replace another song that he felt did not fit thematically with the rest of the album.[3]
