Note the preposition: in everything, not for everything. God does not ask you to call evil good, but to find Him worthy of thanks in the middle of it. Thanksgiving is the will of God — not a suggestion but a settled directive, and it is the doorway out of anxiety. List five gifts today, especially the small ones. Gratitude will re-tune your heart.
In Every Thing Give Thanks
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Father, I give You thanks in all things today. Open my eyes to Your gifts and fill my heart with gratitude. Amen.
