With Thanksgiving...

"If we cannot offer our current prayer requests from a life filled with thanksgiving, we will not get a favorable response. The Word does not say pray with complaining, it says pray with thanksgiving. Murmuring, grumbling, faultfinding, and complaining usually occur when either something or someone has not gone the way we want, or when we are having to wait for something longer than we expected. Be patient during these times."
Joyce Meyer, "Battlefield of the Mind"

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything,
but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer
and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving,
continue to make your wants known to God.
[Philippians 4:6]
