1 Thessalonians 5:16-18–"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
In all circumstances. The key to this passage lies in this simple, though neglected phrase: this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. In other words, rejoicing, prayer and giving thanks are the very things God desires from us. The real trick is to apply these practices to every and all circumstances, to pray when we would rather not, to rejoice when life is joyless, and to give thanks when there seems to be nothing worthy of thankfulness. Let us commit to do these things so as to fulfill God's will in our own lives.
