James 1:2 - 4 (NKJV)
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
 
1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 (NKJV)
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.
 
Philippians 4:6 & 7 (NKJV)
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 
Abba Father one thing is assured, Your will for our lives is that they be filled with the joy and peace of Jesus, that we approach each day with the confident assurance that Your Word is Truth and Your Promise cannot be defeated, and that our hearts always be filled and overflowing with thanksgiving; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
