Reasons for Thanksgiving and Prayer

n this lesson 2 of the 2026 Sabbath School by SUMtv, Pastors Esteban Bohr, David Salazar, and Tarcis Scaffy reflect on the profound topic: “Reasons for Thanksgiving and Prayer.” Even amid struggles, this lesson reminds us of the joy found in gratitude and the power of persistent prayer.

✨ Questions we explore in this week’s lesson:

What moved Paul to give thanks for the believers in Philippi?

How does prayer shape our view of trials and daily life?

What does it mean to trust God to finish the good work He started?

How can we develop a heart of thanksgiving no matter our situation?

📖 Memory Text: "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6, NKJV)

🔑 This lesson reminds us that we are God’s ongoing masterpiece, and He is faithful to finish what He started. Prayer and gratitude keep us connected to His purpose and peace.

🙏 Join us as we rediscover the beauty of giving thanks and praying with confidence, knowing God is not done with us yet.
