(Philippians 4:6-7).....Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Thankfulness is the key to overcoming anxiety, and to obtaining the peace of God which surpasses understanding.
To praying without ceasing - and to rejoicing always (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). When we give thanks in everything - we will pray without ceasing – and when we pray without ceasing - we will rejoice always. Being thankful is something we all struggle with from time to time, yet being thankful is something God wants from His saints (Psalm 116:17) (Hebrews 13:15)
