“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

Whether things are going great or spiraling out of control in our lives, we are called to share everything with God in prayer. No prayer is too small or too big for our God.

This two-part study will explore the teenager’s prayer life as it calls us to give God praise and thanks as we present our requests to Him.

In Part One, participants learned about prayer — why we pray and what we pray for. In Part Two, participants will learn about why and how to be thankful in all situations.

Part Two IN EVERYTHING: With Thanksgiving

OPENING ACTIVITY “The Thankful Hat”

BACKGROUND “Paul’s Reason to Be Thankful”

STUDYING THE WORD Why Be Thankful?

Philippians 4:6 says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Are you thankful “in everything” Are you thankful “in everything”? Is it possible for someone to be thankful to God “in everything”? Why or why not?

Read Psalm 136:1. Why should we be thankful Read Psalm 136:1. Why should we be thankful? Why is it good that “God is good”?

Read Colossians 1:12-14. What has God done that we should be thankful for? What gift have you been given?

Take a look at the verse below: “Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Eph 5:19-20)

What has Jesus done that makes giving thanks in His Name possible?

Read Hebrews 12:28. What is this “unshakable kingdom” that the verse reminds us to be thankful for? (See also v.22)

Read Romans 8:28. Since God is good, He’s always working for good Read Romans 8:28. Since God is good, He’s always working for good. What good has come from the difficult situations in your life or from someone you know?

STUDYING THE WORD Don’t Forget “Please” and “Thank You”

Hopefully, the people who raised you taught you to say “please” and “thank you” when dealing with other people. Why is it important to remember our “please” and “thank you”?

Often times, our prayers to God end up being “gimme” prayers Often times, our prayers to God end up being “gimme” prayers. “God gimme this… God gimme that… God do this… God do that…” Is this a healthy and proper way to pray? Why or why not?

What is missing from a “gimme” kind of prayer? (See 1 Thess 5:17-18.)

While Jesus commands us to ask God for whatever we need, we should remember that it is very important how we ask it...

Read the following verses, and answer the question, “How should we pray?”

“How should we pray?” John 16:23 Matthew 21:22 James 1:6-7 Luke 11:13 Luke 22:42 Matthew 8:2 1 John 5:14 Psalm 136:1
