"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thess 5:188 KJV)
Giving thanks to God in every thing is His will concerning us. Admittedly, however, we may find ourselves in circumstances and situations that we may not readily feel thankful to be in. In fact, we'd prefer it if we didn't have to deal with them at all. Nevertheless, the knowledge that God is working in every situation and circumstance for our good, is more than cause enough to connect with His will concerning us and simply give thanks. Don't fight it, flow with it! It is His will, so give thanks!
Prayer: Lord, in everything we give you thanks because it is your will concerning us. Help us in the difficult times to remember this quickly so as to not struggle against your will. Amen!
Ps 30:11-12. . . . You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.
