Thankful in All Things

Main Point: We should be thankful in all our circumstances.

Key Verse: Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT

Materials: “THANKFUL” cards (Cards are attached. Make as many sets of cards as needed for each child to have a card.)

Personal Connection:

• Say: We see in our history books what a very, very difficult time the Pilgrims had when they started out in America. No doubt, these were the most difficult days they had ever faced, yet they took time every day to praise the Lord. Leader, feel free to tell of a difficult situation in your life in which you were able to thank the Lord.

Hands on Application:

• Say: Sometimes things go great in your life, and sometimes things are very difficult. But no matter what is happening in your life, God does NOT change. His character and goodness will never end. These are the things we should be thankful for.

• Give each child one “THANKFUL” card. Each card has a different idea of something to be thankful for. After children have taken a card, have them take turns reading the statement then give their answer. If time allows, have children randomly swap cards and answer again.

Group Dicussion:

• Have a volunteer read 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Say: The Bible says it is God’s will for us to be thankful in every circumstance. Ask: Why do you think God wants you to be thankful in everything? Listen for answers. Say: When we thank God, even in the hard times, it will remind us that He is in control. This honors God and it will give you the peace that you need.

Conversation with God (Prayer):

Pray for students who are currently in a difficult situation. Pray for each student to be able to thank God no matter what is going on in their lives. Fill in the prayer journal and close in prayer.
