give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Pray
You have commanded us in this verse to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is Your will for us in Christ Jesus. Help me to remember this and to cultivate a heart of gratitude, even in the midst of trials and challenges. I know that it can be easy to focus on the negative and to lose sight of all the blessings and goodness that You have bestowed upon me. Please open my eyes to see the ways in which You are working in my life and help me to give thanks for all the ways that You have shown me Your love and provision.
I pray that You would help me to have a thankful heart in every circumstance, knowing that You are with me and that You are working all things together for my good. Give me strength and resilience to face each day with gratitude, and to share that gratitude with those around me. Thank You for Your constant love and care, and for the truth that You are always worthy of praise.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
