"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."

Guided Prayer: God, the fact that you tell us to always rejoice and never stop praying shows us  that there is always something to be thankful for, and that we can come to you to celebrate that. You are kind enough to constantly give us good gifts. Let us remember that no matter what situation we’re in, you are always working to make things come together exactly how they need to be.

Independent Prayer: Spend the next minute telling God what you’re thankful for in your current circumstance.
