1 Thessalonians 5:18 says to, "Give THANKS in all things, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." It doesn't say to give thanks for the things you are going through; it says to give thanks while you are going through. And why? Because you know that He is with you, and He will help you, and He will walk with you, and He will if He has to, carry you at times. All in all, give thanks, because you are not going through THIS alone...
