Give Thanks in All Circumstances

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5: [18] give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Observation: I’m at a situation at work that all I do is complain or worry and am negative about everything. I read this scripture today and felt remorse that I feel this way for all God has done for me. If I would focus on what God has done for me and that he is not limited in any situation and has things under control I can be thankful for what he is doing and not what I’m going through.

Application: Remember that God is in control and loves me. He has a purpose and those facts alone should make me thankful no matter what I’m going through. So I need to be thankful in all circumstances, not because of the circumstances but because He is with me and loves me

Prayer: Dear Lord forgive me that I don’t always see you, even though you are there. I am thankful that you are my God and I ask you to continue to work on me and draw me closer to you. Thank you for all you do for me and for who you are in my life.
