Rejoice always, pray continually,
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:16–18 niv
Gratitude is the companion to worship. We turn our eyes to the Giver
with worship, and we acknowledge His gifts to us, His favour on us, with
gratitude. We may not see what we hope to see God doing, but we don’t
want to miss all that He is doing.

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.
Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
JAMES 5:13 nkjv
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6–7 niv)
