“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)
It can be so easy to be discouraged. Whether it’s something in our own lives or the world around us, we are surrounded by hard situations and events.
