What 1 Thessalonians 5:18 means
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. The command is to give thanks in everything, not for everything; even in hard seasons there is always something of God to be grateful for. Gratitude is named plainly as God's will, a doorway into peace that stays open even when circumstances close.
