Paul trusted and believed

Greetings:
In reading the Epistles, written by the Apostle Paul, I am amazed at how cool he remained as the world around him was crashing down.
He remained strong in spirit.
Paul didn’t learn contentment overnight, but it happened over a period of time and through a great deal of suffering that he learned not to overlook the basic, small provisions of God. He learned to be thankful for them.
When strife drives our faces into the dirt, we must not give up, lose heart, or stop trusting God. That's the time to get up, dust off and be thankful.
Sometimes, God allows suffering to help us be mindful of all of the many smaller graces that He has given us in our lives. It is easy to overlook things and take them for granted.  We should be thankful to God for them, as insignificant as they might seem.  Just comparing our life to somebody who is in a worse state does not necessarily make us feel better.  But if we thank God that we have the things that we realize that others might not be so fortunate to have, then our directing can change our perspective and bring us contentment. 
We need to maintain Paul’s attitude of thankfulness for all things and in even the worst and unfair of circumstances.  We need to make a point to thank God for the blessings that He gives us each and every day. 
We ought to wake up every morning and our first thoughts ought to be 'Thank you, Lord'.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (Amplified Bible) we read, “Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].”
Some might think that this verse says to be thankful for all of our circumstances. But the verse actually says to be thankful in all circumstances. The original Hebrew word for word 'in' that is used here means 'in the middle of' or 'during'.
In other words, no matter what is happening in our life, we can be thankful.
Be blessed.
