I. The Parts of Prayer (Phil. 4:6; 1 Thess. 5:17-18; 1 Tim. 2:1; Col. 4:2)
A. Thanksgiving
“Paul prays frequently and regularly for his readers and always gives thanks for them when he does so. This dedication to prayer is especially remarkable when it involves Christians whom Paul has neither evangelized nor, apparently, even visited.” D. Moo

“Let us therefore rejoice in the favors that we have already received, and give thanks to God for them in such a manner, as to seek at the same time from Him perseverance and advancement.” J. Calvin
