1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Gratitude is a spiritual weapon — one that shifts your focus from what’s missing to what’s already present. When you thank God even in hard times, you open the door for His peace, presence, and power to fill your life.
Many people only thank God when things are good. But true gratitude isn’t based on circumstances — it’s rooted in trust. When Paul wrote “in everything give thanks,” he wasn’t in comfort; he was in prison. Yet his heart overflowed with thanksgiving because he understood that gratitude keeps your spirit alive even in dark places.
Thanksgiving breaks the chains of complaining and ushers in the atmosphere of miracles. When Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes, He first gave thanks. Gratitude precedes breakthrough.
So instead of asking, “Why me?” try saying, “Thank You, Lord, for trusting me with this season.” Gratitude doesn’t ignore pain — it declares that God is still good in spite of it.
Today, take a moment to thank God not just for what you have, but for what He’s still preparing.
