40 Reasons for Thanksgiving 

REASON #13: For the Gift of Discipline

My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline, but don’t be crushed by it either. It’s the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects. (Hebrews 12:6 MSG)

When it comes down to it, God is preparing me for something better when He disciplines me. That is enough of a reason to thank Him isn’t it? Will I take a step of faith in my prayers right now and thank Him for what is going on even if I am hurting from His discipline? If I will not, am I also one who does not return to thank Him?
