“Thanksgiving is inseparable from true prayer; it is almost essentially connected with it. One who always prays is ever giving praise, whether in ease or pain, both for prosperity and for the greatest adversity. He blesses God for all things, looks on them as coming from Him, and receives them for His sake- not choosing nor refusing, liking or disliking,anything, but only as it is agreeable or disagreeable to His perfect will.”
~John Wesley, How To Pray: The Best of John Wesley on Prayer
"We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you..." Colossians 1:3
