+Giving thanks is a necessary part of the prayer equation. Without it, our prayer life quickly becomes imbalanced.
+It's not easy to give thanks in all circumstances. God uses the trials you go through to mature you.
+He thinks you're ready to go deeper into faith and trust, so He in His unsurpassed wisdom and love, allows hard times in your life.
+It's a test of sorts, one that He feels you're ready to take. So whatever trial you find yourself in, stop to think and then thank.
+Think about what God has done for you in the past, and thank Him for His promise to walk with you through this trial now and use it to grow your faith.
+Gratitude develops the right attitude in you. Thankfulness increases the confidence with which you make supplication, because you develop the expectation—the faith—that God will do a good work even in the midst of your pain.
๐ God, thank You for allowing me to experience trials. And thank You for refining my faith through them.
+When I go through hard situations, please lead me away from temptation by giving me the strength to endure.
+Remind me of the joy set before me: the purification of my character and eternity spent with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. ๐☝️๐ช๐ป๐ค
