Does the word God get the pronoun "it" or "he"?
For example: I want to say thanks to God for what it / he gave
me.
I am talking about the God of Monotheism (force majeure) – like what the Jews and Muslims believe in. [I don't know whether the Christian God is considered the same God, because of the Trinity.]

The God of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, basically) is traditionally a father figure, and the pronoun used is "he" (or "He", if you're using the majestic capital). Sometimes people will subvert this and use "She", either as a tongue-in-cheek substitution or as an earnest attempt at gender inclusivity, but in general, if you're talking about the God of a monotheistic religion, the pronoun to use is "He".
If you're talking about a higher being of a more personified pantheon (e.g. Greek or Norse myth), then use the pronoun appropriate to the gender of said higher being.
The one pronoun you never use for God, any God, is "it".1
1 Well, OK, maybe Cthulhu. Sometimes. But it's best to just not talk about him/her/it. :)
