Can we really be thankful in everything? Moments that Matter, Christian Questions

Living “In everything give thanks” presents a profound challenge that requires a necessary spiritual discipline.

To meet this challenge, we must accept that true thankfulness is not a fleeting emotion but a cultivated state of perception. It means viewing our grief, loss and uncertainty, through the lens of trust in God’s providence. The Apostle Paul models this in 2 Corinthians 12, where he expresses gratitude for unanswered prayers, recognizing that weakness becomes strength when Christ is present.

True thankfulness should be a spiritual lens that reshapes how we interpret suffering, a gateway to peace that surpasses understanding, and an active expression not just a feeling—meant to be lived and shared.

Paul’s Epistles demonstrate that thankfulness should be expressed both to God and to others. Mutual encouragement strengthens the body of Christ.
