God‘s will for you in Christ Jesus!!!

Scripture Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Do you know that it is God’s will for you to be joyful always and to be able to give thanks in all circumstances?

Are you always joyful and giving thanks? Are there any issues that you are facing right now that’s causing you to lose your joy? Are the circumstances that you are facing so difficult that you are unable to give thanks? Or are you just lazy to give thanks and proclaim the goodness of God??

If you are losing your joy, I suggest that you need to pray continually until you see the breakthrough in your mind, heart, soul and spirit where you begin to thank God for all that he has done for you. When you press in and pray to the Lord continually, even in the most difficult situation, I believe the Lord will help you overcome the difficult situation in your mind. Then you will find the assurance that the Lord will deliver you and fill your heart & soul with His peace. As the Lord’s peace fills you, your spirit will rise up in thanksgiving. Before you know it, you will discover again the Joy of the Lord!

In simple words, we just have to put in CONSCIOUS EFFORT to pray continually and to give thanks DAILY. We need to recognize that all good things come from the Lord and it is not by coincidence or through our own efforts that we can gain them. Once you become more positive, naturally you’ll be too engrossed in giving thanks that the JOY of the Lord just naturally overwhelms you.

Don’t think,
Just do it!!
