Phil 4:6-7 is a good description of what we should pray for.....as you said....My prayers often start by giving thanks then I often ask for the strength to deal with life's trials and tribulations
“Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.”
In the trials of life we can never forget that there are positive things to thank God for....anxieties, petitions and thanksgiving are a balanced view of the life we endure until God finishes his case with the devil. He will not take our trials away, but will give us the strength to endure them....giving us a measure of peace in our hope for the future.
