Colossians 3:17
New International Version (NIV)
17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
So whatever we do we need to be giving thanks! Not just when that job promotion comes, or when that healing happens in your body, but IN ALL THINGS!

2 Thessalonians 1:4
New International Version (NIV)
4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
It's during these trials that God works in us! Through these tough times God is growing us in our faith and teaching or perseverance! Just because you became a believer in Jesus Christ and accepted His forgiveness doesn't many that everyday will be puppies and rainbows. He expects us to grow!

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
In this battle we are proving our faith and bringing glory and honor to God. We must persevere! You may think it's crazy but we should be praising God we are going through this! It is refining us and bringing glory to Him!
Proverbs 17:3
New International Version (©2011)
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.
God needs to know He can count on you to live for Him not just on those easy carefree days but also when a relationship is broken, we a doctor gives you the report it's cancer, when the car is broken or a job ends and you don't know how you are going to make it. He's there! He's providing! He's healing! You are not alone!

Hebrews 13:5
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"
Trust God and thank Him for the situations He has put you in! He is right there dwelling in you and He will never leave or forsake you! God knows what He is doing, so trust Him and thank Him! God is in control!
So each day as we get up let us not complain about or situations, trials, and pain but thank Him that we have another day to grow closer to Him and be more like Him. Let us trust Him that no matter what He is doing what is best for us and bringing glory to Him.
