GIVING OF THANKS OR THANKSGIVING Prayers, supplications, intercessions, giving of thanks or thanksgiving are the main types of Christian prayers. These four major divisions of prayer cover anything we want to talk with Jesus about. One cannot make a Christian prayer unless he uses one or a combination of the above types. In this writing we will focus mainly on giving of thanks or thanksgiving.

A prayer of giving of thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ is one of audible sounds. This is either with or together with instruments of music and sometimes a dance. This is like what took place at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. The children of Israel dedicated the wall of Jerusalem " both " with giving of thanks and with " singing " with musical instruments, Nehemiah 12:27.

Our " sacrifice of thanksgiving " to God should be voluntary, Leviticus 22:29.
The Lord, through His Words , encourages us to offer thanksgiving to Him, Psalm 50:14.
" IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound " , Psalm 92:1-3.
" Foolish talking " , joking around should not " once " be practiced among us because they are " not convenient " ; but instead we should participate in thanksgiving to God, Eph., 5:4.
In the name of Jesus Christ we should give God thanks for all things, Eph 5:20.
" Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God " , Philippians 4:6.
We give thanks to God and the Father when all our behavior is carried out in Jesus Name, Col., 3:17.
" In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you " , 1 Thessalonians 5:19
As we " continue " our Christian journey do so " in prayer " and be vigilant in prayer " with thanksgiving " , Col 4:2.
The Lord expects believers who " know truth " to pray before meals,particularly to give thanks, 1 Timothy 4:3.
The Lord Jesus, also, expects us to grow in our belief in him with " thanksgiving " , Col 2:7.

Finally, prayers, supplications, intercessions, giving of thanks or thanksgiving are types of Christian prayers we cannot as Christians live without. By them we establish our relationship with God, by them we act as our brothers keeper and by them we are obedient to Gods commands. Let us join with the angels in heaven (now) and worship Jesus Christ by " saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen " , Rev., 7:12.
