Reasons for Thanksgiving and Prayer Lesson 2
In this lesson, we will see how Paul intentionally begins his epistles with words of greeting, thanksgiving, and prayer, acknowledging God’s grace and peace (Col. 1:2–3). We will reflect on the many reasons we, like Paul, have to be thankful—especially for God’s grace and the peace that comes from His love. As we explore Paul’s opening prayers in Philippians and Colossians, we will learn how gratitude, humility, and dependence on God can deepen and strengthen our own prayer life.
