Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that prayers should always be accompanied by thanksgiving, as seen in Philippians 4:6-7.
In Philippians 4:6-7, the Apostle Paul instructs believers to make their requests known to God with thanksgiving. This emphasizes the importance of having a heart filled with gratitude as we approach God in prayer. Thanksgiving is a way to acknowledge God's previous blessings and express faith that He will respond to our present requests. It signifies that we do not approach God as beggars but as children of a loving Father, confident in His willingness to hear and answer us.
