Text:Thessalonians 5:18

In everything, give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you

True Christianity is living by faith in God’s Word, where you're forever grateful and giving glory to God, not for what you expect Him to do, but for all He’s already done. You’ve come to realize that there’s nothing He hasn’t done for you yet. He’s given you all things and has made you like Himself. This understanding should make you glorify Him every day, everywhere and at all times.

Someone may ask, ”Am I supposed to give thanks for challenges and problems?” The scripture didn't say to give ”for" all circumstances; rather, it says we should give thanks ”in” all circumstances ;In other words, give thanks, no matter the situation. It doesn’t matter what happens in your life or around you, give thanks to God, knowing He’s already given you the victory and he knows that you could never be disadvantaged, and that all things are working together for your good as the Scriptures declare.
Text:Romans 8:28

And you know that all things works together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose

You have to understand that Christ in you makes you triumphant always, in all circumstances. So, when he says for us to give thanks in all things, it's with this consciousness.
Text:colossians3:17

Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the lord Jesus,giving thanks to God and the father by him

A lifestyle of gratitude activate the blessing and grace of God in your life.
Text:James1:2blockquote>says, "My brethren,count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations
He didn't say, "Cry to God to save you out of divers temptation." That's because there is nothing in this life that successfully stand against you. Everything that exist, both living and non-living are working and cooperating for your victory. This is why you should always be full of joy, giving thanks to the lord.
