• 1:04
  Hello, and welcome to divine five one five.
• 1:07
  Today's episode, I'm gonna be talking about how
• 1:10
  living out prayer with rejoicing and gratitude
• 1:13
  help us have a stronger prayer life.
• 1:16
  The key scripture that I'm gonna be using
• 1:18
  today is part of the key scripture for
• 1:21
  the ministry,
• 1:22
  and it comes from first Thessalonians
• 1:24
  five sixteen through 18.
• 1:27
  It says, rejoice always,
• 1:29
  pray continually,
• 1:31
  give thanks in all circumstances
• 1:33
  for this is God's will for you in
• 1:36
  Christ Jesus.
• 1:40
  God's
• 1:41
  will is not hidden.
• 1:43
  It is found in these three simple practices,
• 1:47
  rejoicing,
• 1:48
  praying, and giving thanks.
• 1:51
  These three work together to create a life
• 1:54
  of spiritual balance
• 1:57
  regardless
• 1:58
  of what we're facing.
• 2:00
  Prayer keeps us connected,
• 2:03
  gratitude keeps us grounded,
• 2:05
  and joy keeps us
• 2:07
  hopeful.
• 2:09
  Not like secular joy or secular peace,
• 2:14
  but something that is much more
• 2:17
  spiritually
• 2:18
  substantial.
• 2:21
  Even when circumstances
• 2:22
  are difficult,
• 2:25
  This
• 2:26
  prayer posture allows us
• 2:29
  to stay spiritually strong
• 2:31
  and keep our focus
• 2:32
  on God.
• 2:34
  Living and applying the scripture means we don't
• 2:38
  let life pull us away from God.
• 2:41
  We let prayer pull us closer.
• 2:44
  Let's pray.
• 2:47
  Heavenly father,
• 2:48
  teach me to live with joy,
• 2:51
  prayer, and gratitude
• 2:53
  in every season.
• 2:55
  Help me not to be ruled by my
• 2:57
  circumstances.
• 2:59
  Let my life reflect constant dependence on you,
• 3:03
  and I choose to trust you in every
• 3:06
  situation
• 3:07
  and bring you glory.
• 3:09
  In Jesus' name, amen.
• 3:16
