We should give thanks because for the "Trials" we face.

James 1:2 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

Rich Mullins wrote a song several years ago entitled "Awesome God." The chorus goes like this:

“Our God is An Awesome God He reins from Heaven above, with wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God.”
