How can we give thanks even if the worse happens?

Ephesians 5:20

Eph. 5:15   Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, 

16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil. 

17 So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 

18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, 

19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 

20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; 

21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
