Remember how that the disciples, after being flogged for preaching Christ, praised and thanked God that they were counted worthy to suffer for His name&#8217;s sake. Remember Paul and Silas praying and praising God at midnight? They were in jail, bound with chains with open wounds from the beating they received.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Giving thanks ushers in the peace of God. \u201cBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,&nbsp;<strong>with thanksgiving<\/strong>, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Philippians\u202c \u202d4:6-7.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\u202c \u202dI don&#8217;t know about you, but I sure need that peace.<\/li><li>Giving thanks can be done even when things aren&#8217;t going my way. \u201cThough the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls\u2014&nbsp;<strong>Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,&nbsp;<\/strong>I will joy in the God of my salvation.\u201dHabakkuk\u202c \u202d3:17-18\u202c \u202d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So today, I resolve to give thanks IN all things&#8230; Even if I don&#8217;t feel like it.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Praise the Lord anyhow!&#8221; Happy THANKSgiving!<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Give Thanks IN All Things \u201cIn everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.\u201d \u202d\u202dI Thessalonians\u202c \u202d5:18\u202c \u202d &#8220;In everything give thanks&#8230;&#8221; But I don&#8217;t want to&#8230;&nbsp; I&#8217;m upset that the Corona Virus is still here and seems to be getting worse.
