WMAE 014: Rejoice, Pray, Give Thanks: A Study of I Thessalonians 5:16-18

“It is God’s will for us to rejoice at all times, to pray perseveringly, and, no matter what circumstances we are in, to give thanks. And we can do it!”

In Rejoice, Pray, Give Thanks: A Study of I Thessalonians 5:16-18, Liz Echternacht opens up three simple yet powerful exhortations from God’s Word. With practical examples, real-life stories, and clear Biblical teaching, Liz shows how rejoicing, persevering in prayer, and giving thanks in all circumstances can transform our thinking, steady our hearts, and brighten our daily walk with God.

Drawing from both the Gospels and the Church Epistles, this episode highlights how rejoicing in truth, praying in the spirit and with our understanding, and cultivating gratitude as a habit bring us into closer fellowship with our heavenly Father. Listeners will be encouraged to take God’s Word as their standard and experience His peace, power, and joy every day.
