In Paul's first letter to the church at Thessalonica, thankfulness rounds out the three postures that God desires from us.

Jesus understands and says, “Come to me, weary and heavy-laden. And I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28. Notice Jesus doesn't say, “Come to me strong, cheerful, without worries.” Jesus said the opposite. We're invited to come to Him weary—whether confused, numb, anxious, angry, stuck, or stressed. Jesus tells us to simply come. Imperfectly His. As we are.
