BE THANKFUL
FOR TODAY

“The Lord has done it this

very day; let us rejoice today
and be glad.”
- Psalms 118:24
LUKE 1:46-55
46 
And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 
    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 
for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 
    for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
    holy is his name.
50 
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.
51 
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost
thoughts.
52 
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.
53 
He has filled the hungry with good things
    but has sent the rich away empty.
54 
He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful
55 
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”
 IN TIMES OF
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
THE FUTURE, DO NOT
LOSE YOUR GRATITUDE
AND YOUR PRAISE TO
GOD.
LEARN TO LIVE IN
THE COMPLETE JOY
OF TODAY AND BE
THANKFUL TO GOD
FOR IT.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:18

give thanks in all

18 

circumstances; for this is
God’s will for you in Christ
Jesus.
FEAR
NOT
“So do not fear, for I am with
you; do not be dismayed, for I
am your God. I will strengthen
you and help you; I will uphold
you with my righteous right
hand.”
ONLY GOD HAS
THE ANSWERS TO
THE QUESTIONS
ABOUT OUR
FUTURE.
 MANY OF US FEAR
WHAT THE FUTURE
HOLDS EVEN WHEN
GOD HAS OPENED
NEW DOORS FOR US.
IF YOU HAVE GOD, YOUR
WEAKNESSES OR FAILURES
HAVE NO BEARING
ON YOUR FUTURE.
 THE MOST CRUCIAL
INFLUENCE IN YOUR
FUTURE IS GOD.
THEREFORE, IF GOD IS
ON YOUR SIDE, YOU DO
NOT NEED TO BE
AFRAID.
SEARCH
THE SCRIPTURE
“Keep this Book of the Law
always on your lips; meditate on
it day and night, so that you may
be careful to do everything
written in it. Then you will be
prosperous and successful.”
 SEEKING GOD’S
WORD MEANS WE
HAVE A GENUINE
HUNGER TO
FELLOWSHIP WITH
GOD.
WHEN YOU DRAW NEAR TO GOD,
HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU.
WHEN YOU STUDY THE WORD OF
GOD,
IT WILL SPEAK TO YOU.
PRAY WITHOUT
CEASING
“pray continually”
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17
GOD, IN HIS
GRACIOUSNESS,
ALLOWS US TO REACH OUT TO HIM THROUGH PRAYER

R E G AR D L E S S
- Flaws
- Mistakes
- Lapses
- Past Life, etc.
 IF ANYTHING IS
SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH
TO GET YOUR WORRIED,
IT IS WORTH PRAYING
ABOUT.
 PRAYERS SHOULD BE A FIRST
RESPONSE,
NOT A LAST RESORT.
IT SHOULD BE CONSISTENT AND
FOCUSED.
MATTHEW 26:39
Going a little farther, he fell with
39 

his face to the ground and

prayed, “My Father, if it is possible,
may this cup be taken from me. Yet
not as I will, but as you will.”
 PRAYER BRINGS
OUR HEARTS IN
ALIGNMENT WITH
GOD’S WILL.
TRUST GOD
AND REST
“Trust in the Lord with all your
heart and lean not on your
understanding; in your ways
submit to him, and he will make
your paths straight.”
- Proverbs 3:5-6
MATTHEW 6:25-34
25 
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat or drink; or about your
body, what you will wear. Is not life more than
food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at
the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or
store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father
feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than
they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a
single hour to your life [a]?
 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the
28 

field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even
Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is
how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and
tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—
you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or
‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run
after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need
them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own.
 GOD HAD PLANS FOR
YOUR FUTURE BEFORE
YOU HAD PLANS FOR
YOURSELF.
YOUR FUTURE WILL BE SECURE
NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOOD
PLANNER OR HAVE A GREAT
FORESIGHT BUT
BECAUSE
YOU HAVE GOD.
THE PROMISE IS THAT HE WILL
MAKE YOUR PATH STRAIGHT.
GOD PROMISES HIS CHILDREN
REST, BUT THE DEVIL
WANTS YOU TO BE
STRESSED.
 TRUST HIM,
TRUST HIS PROMISES,
COMMIT YOUR FUTURE
TO HIM AND REST IN HIS
INFINITE LOVE.
