 Give Thanks in All Circumstances – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Devotional Prayer
 Scripture Focus: 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Romans 8:28, Psalm 100:4, James 1:17

Welcome to the Daily Christian Prayer Podcast with Reverend Ben Cooper, broadcasting from London and reaching listeners across the globe through RB Christian Radio. Today’s episode takes you deep into the transformative truth of 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

In just five powerful minutes, you will discover how gratitude is more than a polite response—it is a daily spiritual discipline that can anchor your soul in every season of life. Reverend Ben Cooper offers a heartfelt prayer meditation that invites you to thank God not only for your blessings but even in your struggles, declaring trust in His perfect timing.

Rooted in the promise of Romans 8:28, this devotional reminds us that God works all things together for good for those who love Him. Gratitude is not about denying hardship—it is about recognising that God is weaving your story with divine purpose.

“We’re not leaning into money, we’re leaning into God. We’re not leaning into government, we’re leaning into God.”

These timely words challenge us to shift our dependence from temporary sources to the eternal Rock. Gratitude reorients the heart, building resilience and faith that withstands every storm.

This Daily Christian Prayer Podcast episode also celebrates the everyday blessings we often overlook—the breath in our lungs, the laughter of a friend, the beauty of creation. As James 1:17 teaches, every good and perfect gift is from above.

Scripture References:

• 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — Give thanks in all circumstances.
• Romans 8:28 — All things work together for good.
• Psalm 100:4 — Enter His gates with thanksgiving.
