Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. (Ephesians 1:16)

Without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers.

Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. [Ephesians 4:26]

We don't only give thanks and prayers for those who have fallen. We also give thanks to those that still serve.

The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
