Renewing Your Mind · Praying with Paul · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

I thank my God through Christ Jesus for all of you.

First Corinthians one, four.

I give thanks to my God always for you.

Philippians one, three.

I thank my God and all my remembrances of you.

Second Thessalonians one, three.

I thank God whom I serve.

He says, I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.

Note the pattern here.

I thank God, I thank God, I thank God, he says.

What is he thankful for exactly?

If you look in the introduction to the book of Colossians, he tells us what he's thankful for.

We often, that is your prayers and my prayers, I don't mean to accuse you of anything, at least my prayers, we often thank God for material things, things that we can touch, things that we have received for our food,

for our new job, for safety on a long journey, for our children to excel.

The truth is that what we most frequently give thanks for betrays what we most highly value.

If a large percentage of our thanksgiving is for material prosperity, it is because we value material prosperity disproportionately in our minds.

That's what's covering up what we're thinking and what we're doing.

But notice what Paul is thankful for.

Paul is thankful for signs of grace among the Colossians.

Look at what he says in chapter 1, verses 4 and 5.
