This puzzle page about Philippians 4:6 gets students thinking about the meaning of the verse. Students will use Greek words and rewrite the prayer in Greek. They'll be thinking about the meaning, connecting languages, and analyzing various words. They'll also (hopefully) remember that Paul wrote in Greek!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
