It is true that we face true challenges while travelling along the journey of life, from unemployment, marriage, health down to security issues and so on. The truth is that all these challenges are not enough reasons why we shouldn't thank God.

Challenges are not meant for your downfall but rather for your promotion. God's plan for everyone is good and doesn't  add any sorrow.

Provides 10:22
The blessings  of the Lord make a person  rich and hard no sorrow
It would amaze you about how many things God does for you and I on a daily basis when God opens our eyes. The things that God does for us are countless and numerous and money can't buy them. God is pleased when we thank him in every  situation and this sets him in motion  to do more for us.

1Thessalonian 5:18
18 .. give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

You are complaining,  saying now, at the age of 35 as a female, you ought to be married because your mates are already rounding up child-bearing in their husbands' houses. Sister/ brother thank God, at least for God allowing you to meet the qualifications to apply as a candidate seeking for husband or a wife. This is because a person that is insane or  mentally unstable can not search for a spouse.It is most likely no one will want to date/marry a mentally unstable individual.Therefore, thank God  that you are sane at 35-year-old. Friends, I tell you that this demands of you to say a big "Thank you" to God.

Are you the type that complains about not having plenty to eat?  Have you thanked God for the ability to eat the little you have? Remember that some have food that cannot eat. Some have golden beds yet cannot  sleep. This reminds me of a friend of  mine some years back that I once viewed as strong and healthy to the best of my knowledge, to the day I heard that he was admitted to a hospital diagnosed with a kidney problem.

Things got worse for him when he was advised by doctors on the type of food or fluid that should enter his mouth. He was denied eating his best foods and drinks. His condition  got worse to a point that he was advised by doctors managing his health not to drink more than 5 caps of 60cl bottle of water a day. Can you imagine that? I almost cried when I heard this. In fact, I actually  cried.

Now take a look at you, you drink water without being measured and you eat that little food in your possession with peace of mind. If only you know the meaning of this, no one will force you to  thank God.
Do not wait till what you enjoy is taken from you that you start to value it. Let us learn to thank God for where we are, because  where we are that means nothing to us, is the major prayer point of some people.

Matt 12:13
Whoever has a lot ( thanks giving to God ) will be given more, and they will have abundance. Whoever does not have a lot ( thanks giving to God ) even the little they have will be taken from them.

The air you breathe freely without any cost is being  paid for by some people every day  in the hospitals. You can walk, talk,see,hear (I mean all the organs ) and all your systems work perfectly. These call for some appreciation to God.
