Joyful Prayer in All Circumstances

From the archives.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 – Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (NIV 1978)

My Musings – If we continue in prayer, through the good times and the bad, if we thank God for the good and thank Him for being with us in the bad, we can learn the secret of being joyful always.

My Advice – Don’t let the pursuit of happiness be your primary motivation. It will disappoint you because happiness depends upon circumstances. Rather let the pursuit of joy be your motivation. You can have joy despite the circumstances.

I was raised in a Christian family and my earliest childhood memories include regular Sunday school and Church attendance as a family. I was taught that our Judeo-Christian values were not just a part of our Sunday routine they should be part of our character and influence all aspects of our lives. I was also taught that as important as these values were they could not save us. We must also be “born again” by accepting Christ. View all posts by thebrewisamusing

What’s In A Name?

In my High School days, my close friends nick-named me “the Brew.” Go figure. Known for my frequent and somewhat feeble attempts at humor, I do nevertheless manage to amuse on occasion. My hobby is writing Bible studies, which I share with the Sunday School classes and small groups that I have facilitated over the last twenty years or so. Now, through “The Brew Is A Musing,” I am sharing them with whoever stumbles across this site. I hope that you find them challenging and inspirational. Let me know what you think.
