We are reminded again about the importance of thanksgiving. It is possible that many times we consider this verse as an invitation to pray about things that tend to bother us. Of course it does encourage us to pray about such things. We must, however, not forget that it also encourages us to thank God. Along with the prayer and petition there should be thanksgiving. So let us never forget that when we pray we should also thank God for all His goodness and love for us.
For 17 years, Richard B. Anderson, a retired missionary penned these short encouraging devotionals. By God's grace the timeless truth in these short devotionals continue to be a blessing and encouragement to many.
