Prayer and Thanksgiving

"Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving." Colossians 4:2

First of all, wow! Second of all, Amen! Prayer is such a powerful thing! It's not just something we should do to feel good. It's not something we should do only when we want something from God. It's not just something we do three times a day before each meal. That is not what I consider, "devoted to prayer." Prayer is much deeper than that. 

We are also supposed to keep "an attitude of thanksgiving." That can be difficult at times, depending on what you're going through. The only thing about that is, it doesn't say, "when you are having a good day, keep an attitude of thanksgiving." If you are devoting yourselves to prayer (on a daily basis) then every time you pray, you should be keeping an attitude of thanksgiving. 

Are you devoting yourself to prayer? Are you doing it with an attitude of thanksgiving?
