"In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
As St Paul puts it, he lives with a thorn in his side that he would like removed. Don't we all have things that we pray about but they seem to stay with you. God reminds us to give Him thanks for we live under His authority. When the time is right, He will cleanse us, we must be obedient to Him and always give thanks, even in the small trials of life. God knows you better than you know yourself. So some days we have to remind ourselves that even though the thorn creates discomfort, we are to be thankful for this circumstance. We could end up like one of the nine lepers who got cleansed but never returned to thank God.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the circumstances even though I would rather not have to feel the discomfort, You know best for my life. If there are things that I need to be doing different, please reveal those to me. I am Your ardent disciple ready for discipline and open to You. Bless this day, thank You for all that You provide. I never want to not thank You and rely upon my own resources. You are my authority and it is You I am obedient to. Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
