Rejoice, Pray, Give Thanks...Always!

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17

Rejoice ALWAYS! Pray ALWAYS! Give thanks ALWAYS! This is my prayer!!
May I learn to give thanks in all circumstances, for everything that happens is for the good of Christ's eternal plan. If I remember to give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that He is sovereign and in control, then I will be led to pray and rejoice. Even in the hard times, may my heart be set on fully seeking God in what to do.
Lord, help me always come to You with everything in my path.

In Christ name Amen!

  1. This is a tough one for me, sometimes - especially when I feel like the circumstances are thrust upon me by other people's choices... it's hard to trust that God is in control then, & hard for me to be thankful - what a good reminder, Haily!

  2. i love this as it reminds us that God has told (and commanded)us to praise him at all times, regardless of our situations. A great start to put us in the perspective of not living for ourselves.

  3. "Even in the hard times, may my heart be set on fully seeking God in what to do."

    This statement is a tough one... and I am so thankful for the family in Christ that I have around me to help me with this during those dark times.

  4. I really like that quote Sonicfreefall! Without Gods guidance in hard times, our logic can be easily tainted and lead us down the wrong course of action! a great reminder, love it.
