It is written in the Bible, “Rejoice ever more. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

In real life, we really experience that all God have done on us is love. When we meet difficulties, He is our strongest supporter and gives us a way out. When we are down in the dumps, He is the only one whom we rely on. His words warm our heart and make us steadfast and peaceful. …

So, we should seek and understand His will no matter what happens in the future. Whether it is a good or bad situation, we should keep a thankful heart to rely on God and look up to Him, obey His orchestration and arrangement.
