"If these devotionals have been a blessing to you, consider supporting our ministry so we can continue sharing God’s word with women around the world. Your generosity helps spread His light! 🙏 ‘Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.’ – 2 Corinthians 9:7"

Key Verse:
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Devotional:

It’s easy to be grateful when life is going well. But what about when things feel hard, when prayers seem unanswered, or when you’re simply exhausted? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 reminds us to give thanks in all circumstances—not because everything is perfect, but because God is still good.

Gratitude shifts our focus. Instead of dwelling on what’s missing, it helps us see what’s already there. It reminds us of God’s faithfulness, His provision, and His love. Even in difficult seasons, there is always something to thank Him for.

No matter what today holds, choose gratitude. Look for the blessings—big or small—and let them remind you that God is working in your life.

Reflection & Prayer Prompt:

  • What are three things you can thank God for today?

  • Ask Him to help you cultivate a heart of gratitude, even in difficult moments.

Faith in Action:

Start a gratitude journal. Each day, write down at least one thing you’re thankful for. Over time, you’ll see how much God is doing in your life.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for Your goodness, even in seasons when it’s hard to see. Help me to focus on Your blessings rather than my worries. Give me a heart that overflows with gratitude every day. Amen.
