Eph 5: 20 - Give thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Note the words AT ALL TIMES and FOR EVERYTHING... all our afflictions, as well as God's mercies were designed for our good, and were needful for us. Why then should we not bless God in the furnace as well as in the palace; on a bed of pain as well as on a path of gain ?
Thanksgiving should be a fundamental and invariable element of all Christian prayer. We have much for which to be grateful; and the duty of acknowledging the mercy of God should not be forgotten.
Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness; wise men have never been ungrateful.
