1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

There are many unpalatable and unfavorable events and moments of our lives that does not motivate us to thank God for, yet He wants us to give thanks even in those situations.

God doesn’t want our thanksgiving tied to only the good seasons. His desire is for His children to be grateful in both good and bad seasons because He works all things out for the good of His people.

Romans 8:28 NIV

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

God uses the bad seasons and down moments of our lives to mold us into what He wants us to be, and becoming the best version of ourselves. He uses all things for our good.

All we need to do His trust Him. That’s hard to do in a very precarious situations, but just try! This is the requirement– to try and trust Him and He will work things out for our good.

Heb 5:8 EasyEnglish Jesus is God’s Son. But he still learned what it is like to obey God. He learned because he had trouble and pain.

Jesus, the savior, had to learn and taste suffering, pain, deprivation and human frailty to become a perfect example for us, and still a savior without sin.
This way, He can advocate and plead on our behalf before the Father because He experienced all of it and He is perfectly qualified to stand before the Father and “explain” our cases before the one who created life.

Heb 5:9 EasyEnglish And as a result, Jesus is the only person who can save us. He saves us for all time from the results of what we do wrong. He saves all those people who obey him.

All of us will leave this world one day.

It’s how we live our lives while on earth that matters.
