How to Pray EffectivelySample

Pray with a Heart of Thanksgiving
Paul teaches that prayer and thanksgiving go hand in hand. When we bring our requests to God, thanking Him in advance, we’re practicing faith and gratitude. This attitude shifts our focus from problems to God’s provision. Effective prayer includes a thankful heart, which opens the door to peace and keeps us grounded in trust.
Reflective Question: What are you grateful for today? As you pray, take time to thank God for His faithfulness and provision.
