In a few short lines, Paul describes a way of life that can feel almost impossible at times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God\u2019s will for you in Christ Jesus.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1+Thessalonians%205%3A16-18&amp;version=NIV&amp;utm_source=bg&amp;utm_medium=bglearn&amp;utm_campaign=verse-calendars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1Th. 5:16-18<\/a> NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can anyone live this way \u2014 especially in difficult seasons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/plus\/?utm_source=bg&amp;utm_medium=bglearn&amp;utm_campaign=verse-calendars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NIV Woman\u2019s Study Bible<\/a><\/em> (available with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/plus\/?utm_source=bg&amp;utm_medium=bglearn&amp;utm_campaign=verse-calendars\">Bible Gateway Plus<\/a>) helps clarify what Paul is pointing to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Thessalonians were apparently under tremendous persecutions. &#8230; In the midst of their persecution, these requests seem absurd. Yet, <strong>these requested actions are not in response to their present circumstances but to their future hope in Christ<\/strong> and will be accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit in them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This insight reframes the passage. Joy, prayer, and gratitude are not dependent on what is happening around you.
