"With thanksgiving" (Phil. 4:6). Mr. Henry W. Frost, director for North America of the China Inland Mission, wrote some time ago:"Nothing so pleases God in connection with our prayer as our praise… and nothing so blesses the man who prays as the praise which he offers. I got a great blessing once in China in this connection. I had received bad and sad news from home, and deep shadows had covered my soul. I prayed, but the darkness did not vanish. I summoned myself to endure, but the darkness only deepened. Just then I went to an inland station and saw on the wall of the mission home these words:'Try Thanksgiving,' I did,' and in a moment every shadow was gone, not to return. Yes, the Psalmist was right, 'It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.' "
