4 Reasons to be thankful all the time. And is it 'helpmate', 'helpmeet', or 'help meet'?

LIFE QUESTION

How can I thank God in everything?

Four reasons for giving thanks

According to I Thessalonians 5:18, there are no boundaries and no exception clauses in regard to when we are to give thanks: “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”


We are to give thanks “in every thing.”


But how does this truth relate to the suffering we experience? Does this verse mean we are to be thankful when a young mother dies of cancer? Does it mean you should give thanks when you lose your job? Does God mean we should rejoice when a couple suffers the anguish of multiple miscarriages?
