in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
God sees you, is watching you, and is with you. He knows and feels what you are going through. God knows how difficult it seems to be… and He hears our anguish and the question; “how am I supposed to be thankful in this situation?” Nevertheless, we must not allow the circumstances to bring us down, we must look up and focus our attention on Christ.
Christ is working behind the scenes and putting the needed pieces together. The battle is very real, so put on your armor and fight through this. Call upon Jesus, dig deeper into His Word, and yes, be thankful and praise Him! Be thankful for the outcome that you can’t yet see. Praise Him for the situation that He will bring you out of. Because of this, we will be stronger and we will be able to help others. The outcome will be above and beyond what you could ever have hoped for or anticipated.
You are able and and capable to do this and see it through. Christ knows you and created you. He is your strength. You are loved and can trust God’s Word because He is faithful and true. Draw upon His Strength when you are weak and watch how He is able to strengthen you. Don’t give up when the battle is at it’s strongest, this is when you need to bear down, be thankful and praise God all the more. Watch and see how Christ delivers you.
