“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Suggested Prayer/Activity: Take some time to review this past year. How has God worked in your life? Has He answered your prayers in unexpected ways? Did He comfort you as you trusted in Him? Did He send people your way to help you physically, spiritually, or emotionally? How many things were you anxious or worried about that did not happen or was less trouble than you predicted? Think about how God may have intervened to make you stronger, more humble, more generous, more loving. Take time now to thank God for every circumstance.
