Phil 1:3-4a
I thank my God in all my rememberance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all
Paul is thanking God for the Philippians every time he remembers them. Do I tend to remember and reflect mainly on the things that I'm NOT thankful for concerning people? Or should I be thanking God for what he's doing/done whether it's good or bad things I remember? Eg. that person insulted me but I can thank God that enables me to understand the gospel more clearly as it breaks down pride in me, highlights my desire for man's approval and reminds me that the cross is the biggest insult I will ever recieve, and the greatest affirmation I will ever get.
Also, he's obviously praying for them regularly. Paul is crying out to God all the time for loads of different people. The "world" of my prayer life seems narrow in comparison!
