NO GRIPING!

 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." ESV 
 
Would this scripture mean that we are not to complain or grumble in a frustrating situation?
 
Lord, help us become acutely aware of our attitudes in all circumstances, even the awful ones, and give us a thankful heart because You are working all things out for our good. In Your name we pray, Amen.

THANKFUL 24/7?

 
Ephesians 5:20
 
"Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." ESV 
 
The Apostle Paul is telling us to be thankful all the time and for every thing. How can we do that when so many stressful and tragic things happen to us? Because, when we receive good things and positive times, our Lord has graciously poured out His blessings on us with no effort on our part. However, when we encounter bad things and negative times, our Lord graciously pours out His blessings and grace on us because we praise Him even in the storm.
 
Lord, teach us to be thankful all the time and for all things. Our thankfulness helps us remember how faithful and gracious You are to us. In Your great name we pray, Amen.

LIVING ABOVE IT ALL

 
1 Corinthians 15:57
 
"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." ESV 
 
We live in a cursed world. We encounter difficulties and trials every day. At times, we get so overwhelmed by it all that we feel ready to just throw in the towel. But, isn't it energizing to know that Jesus Christ has every facet of our lives under control and will provide all we need to stay victorious over it all. If we think about that when we get to the end of our rope, we will never be defeated.
 
Lord, we praise You for providing our every need to have victory in this dangerous and difficult world. Help us to remember that You are in control and we don't have to fret about things working out. We pray in Your name, Amen.

WHATEVER

 
Colossians 3:17
 
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." ESV
 
Remember, everything we say, think, and do is doing it directly to the Lord. Knowing this, we strive to honor Him in all ways. And, we are thankful to Him for giving us the grace and strength to be able to honor Him this way.
 
Heavenly Father, guard our hearts and minds so that all we think, say, and do brings glory to Your name. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

THANK YOU

 
 
1 Thessalonians 5:18


"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." NIV


"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." KJV


We thank You Lord for the greatest gift of love, salvation through Jesus Christ. We thank You for being the God who never changes, who has all power and all glory. We thank You Father for allowing us to have all the things we need and many of the things we just want. We thank You for loved ones and the joy of fellowship. We thank You for protection from the difficult weather and dangers of this world. We thank You God when sickness strikes, You are there with Your healing balm to get us through. We thank You that when sickness or situations take our loved ones from us, You are there to comfort us and give us hope that we will one day see them again. We thank You Father that when financial crises come our way, it opens the door for You to show Your grace and mercy to provide for us. We thank You Lord, that the Holy Spirit brings us peace and comfort when relationships are bad. We give thanks that You help us to humble ourselves and seek to make things right. We thank You for the beautiful gift of nature that speaks of Your awesomeness. God, we can't thank You enough FOR all the blessings and IN all the troubles; they are too numerous to recall. Most of all, we thank You for being the One true God, eternal love, who concerns Himself with each one of us in all things we experience in this world.


Heavenly Father, we give You thanks in spite of the bad and for all the good. Help us to always have hearts of thanksgiving, not just today, but every moment of every day for ever. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
