that’s an interesting ha’araa.
i was thinking along the lines that ‘just as one must thank Hashem for good, so must he thank Him for bad’ (mesechta brochos)
so, as much as we are grateful for all the open and obvious miracles, we must thank him as well for the bad, like for the terrible war we had in those days (where thousands of jews were sucked into the Greek’s Hellenistic ways lost forever.)
perhaps because ‘kol mah d’ovid rachmama l’tav ovid’, and all that ‘bad’ is really good, meaning, a process where good will eventually sprout forth. similar to the yidden going through the crucible of mitzrayim where they emerged as am echad
