Thanksgiving: Part of the package deal...

Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 
Twice in this letter Paul combines prayer and joy with thanksgiving.  We should be thankful that The Lord is near; He hears our prayers and cares about our requests; He gives peace despite our circumstances.  What is there not to be thankful for?
