React To Problems With Thankful Prayer
In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6
Instead of praying to God with doubt or discontentment, the believer is to approach God in a spirit of thanksgiving. That’s because God promised not to allow anything into our lives that will be too much for us to bear (1 Cor 10:13). He has promised to work out everything for our good (Rom 8:28), and “perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle” us in the midst of our suffering (1 Pet 5:10).
All difficulties are within God’s purpose, so we can thank Him for His available power and promises. Peter said to cast “all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Pet 5:7). In doing so, we are to be thankful for His providence, His promise of perfecting us, the glory He will receive from accomplishing His will, and for past mercies that are the promise of future blessings.
