prayers and thank sgivings. do you do both or only one?

I am always thanking G♥d in my prayers and even when I am not praying. He is my everything, so why shouldn't I give Him thanks? :)

I agree with you, most of the time we engaged in this matrial world for lust and leasure, but when we don't get what we desire, we ask God for the same thing and once it is granted we again lost in the matrial world for other pleasures, but never think of giving thanks to the Lord our God. He is our Father, and as a son if we ask something we are sure we gonnna get that too, and even if we dont say thanks its not going to matter to him as his is a good father and show gre'te fatherhood, but its our duty to give thanks to him for even the smallest thing He has done in our life, believe me It will please him to the best and He gonna bless us more. So we have one Mantra, "Prays to the Lord and Thanks be to the God"

There has been many times I Thank God for what he has done in my Life, and Praise him for what he is doing or will do. I feel Praying is way more that just asking because if you forget to Thank him when Good things come he will think we do not care, and maybe not concentrate on us so much. God has done many Great things in my life and I am sure he will continue to do many Great things for me in the future.
