Faith – Giving Thanks IN Everything
“In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18) I used to think that it was totally illogical to give thanks to God for the trails and obstacles we face in life. When I pray, I certainly don’t say, “God, please sent me some problems and suffering.” […]
