A Prescription For Health

A Prescription for Health

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.  5  Let your reasonableness [d]  be
known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;  6  do not be anxious about anything, 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 your minds in Christ Jesus. 8  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.  9  What you have learned [e]  and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:4-9

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all
wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts
to God.  17  And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:16-17

Believers should live lives that are marked by thankfulness!

1. Where was Paul when he wrote these letters?
2. What is the meaning of the Greek words Paul is using?
3. Why does it say that we should do things “with Thanksgiving” and “with
thankfulness”?
4. What are some practical ways to develop a life marked by thankfulness?

Believers should live lives that are marked by thankfulness before we ask and see God
move in our lives!
