Phil 4:6 - Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
To the general word "prayer" is subjoined the distinction of the two great elements of worship, “supplication WITH thanksgiving.” The very expression, however, shows that, though distinct, they are inseparable.
If one realises that whatever he has, he has received from the hands of divine love, thanksgiving becomes appropriate in any situation... and armed with thanksgiving for God's tender care & mercy, we can smile at the poisoned darts of anxiety which would otherwise fester in our hearts and, perhaps, kill.
Gratitude is the seed for joy and you glorify God when you express your gratitude.
