Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always!
Pray constantly.
Give thanks in everything,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Gratitude is not just an emotion. Rejoicing is not a passive pursuit. The Bible instructs us to declare God’s goodness in every circumstance! We are to pray, seek, and give thanks with an expectant, joyful heart. THIS is God’s will for us.
His love for you is steadfast, no matter the path you’re walking.
His promises hold fast, even when your world is crumbling.
In everything, He is good. In everything give thanks.

God everything I have. I owe it all to you. Not just the big things but every little thing. The words I say, all I can do is pray that they honor you. And I know when I sin and fall short that you are there waiting for me to run back to you. For this I am so thankful.
O Lord, I find it difficult to thank you all the time, please help me to do this, because you are my God and you deserve it!
Thank you Lord for the good times and the times I feel I might break! I know that breaking is you removing anything that is not meant for my good out of my life. And I’m most grateful that you see what’s ahead and you prepare me for it! Abba, I love you!
God thank you for being there in each circumstance no matter what!
