Are you thankful, happy, rejoicing? Paul tells us in I - TopicsExpress



          

Are you thankful, happy, rejoicing? Paul tells us in I Thessalonians 5:17, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances...” Seasons of blessing can be an encouragement for us. Its important to remember that blessings come from God, and we can pray to Him in thankfulness as well. The greatest gift He gave us is His son, and for Christians, this life is as bad as it gets with Heaven as our future home. We don’t need to skip over the heartaches, but we need to look for reasons to be thankful and thank the Giver. No matter what our circumstances, we can pray—anytime, anywhere. Prayer gives us an accurate assessment of who we are. It encourages us to focus on God instead of ourselves and reveals our constant need for Him. Prayer opens our eyes to who we truly are (selfish people by nature, whether it’s subtle or blatant) and lifts our eyes toward our Creator so that He can reveal who He wants us to be, by His grace.
