  feeling

  uncertain,

  Headlines
• 1:25
  changing
• 1:26
  every
• 1:26
  week.
• 1:27
  And
• 1:27
  somewhere
• 1:28
  in
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  back
• 1:28
  of
• 1:28
  your
• 1:28
  mind,
• 1:29
  you
• 1:29
  got
• 1:29
  a
• 1:29
  voice
• 1:29
  that
• 1:29
  keeps
• 1:30
  whispering,
• 1:31
  what
• 1:31
  if

  things

  right

  question.

  But

  faith

• 1:37
  with
• 1:37
  something
• 1:37
  stronger.

  God
• 1:39
  will.
• 1:40
  Because
• 1:40
  here's
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  truth
• 1:41
  that
• 1:41
  most
• 1:41
  believers
• 1:41
  forget.
• 1:42
  God's
• 1:43
  provision
• 1:43
  isn't
• 1:43
  always
• 1:43
  abundance,
• 1:44
  but
• 1:45
  it's
• 1:45
  always
• 1:45
  enough.
• 1:46
  And.
• 1:46
  And
• 1:46
  today
• 1:46
  I
• 1:46
  want
• 1:46
  to
• 1:47
  help
• 1:47
  you
• 1:47
  trust
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  practically,
• 1:48
  not
• 1:49
  just
• 1:49
  spiritually.

  Hello,
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  welcome
• 2:11
  to
• 2:11
  the
• 2:12
  show.
• 2:12
  I'm
• 2:12
  Ralph.
• 2:12
  Thank
• 2:13
  you
• 2:13
  so
• 2:13
  much
• 2:13
  for
• 2:13
  joining

• 2:14
  as

  we
• 2:14
  wrap
• 2:15
  up
• 2:15
  another
• 2:15
  great
• 2:16
  week
• 2:16
  of
• 2:16
  helping
• 2:16
  you
• 2:16
  break
• 2:16
  that
• 2:17
  cycle
• 2:17
  of
• 2:18
  financial
• 2:18
  shame
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  do
• 2:19
  it
• 2:19
  with
• 2:19
  confidence.
• 2:20
  A
• 2:21
  listener
• 2:21
  said
• 2:21
  to
• 2:21
  me,
• 2:21
  ralph,
• 2:22
  I'm
• 2:22
  honestly
• 2:22
  nervous
• 2:23
  about
• 2:23
  next
• 2:23
  year.
• 2:24
  Prices
• 2:24
  keep
• 2:24
  climbing,
• 2:25
  income
• 2:25
  feels
• 2:26
  shaky.
• 2:27
  Ralph,
• 2:27
  how
• 2:27
  do
• 2:27
  I
• 2:28
  trust
• 2:28
  God
• 2:28
  practically,
• 2:29
  not
• 2:29
  just
• 2:29
  spiritually,
• 2:30
  when
• 2:30
  I'm
• 2:31
  scared
• 2:31
  about
• 2:31
  provision?
• 2:33
  And
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  hear
• 2:34
  that,
• 2:35
  so
• 2:35
  easy
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  get
• 2:36
  scared,
• 2:36
  man.
• 2:36
  Things
• 2:36
  are
• 2:37
  going
• 2:37
  on
• 2:37
  around
• 2:37
  us
• 2:38
  that
• 2:38
  are
• 2:38
  just
• 2:38
  crazy
• 2:39
  sometimes.
• 2:40
  And,
• 2:40
  friend,
• 2:40
  if
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  felt
• 2:41
  that
• 2:41
  same
• 2:41
  knot
• 2:42
  in
• 2:42
  your
• 2:42
  stomach,
• 2:43
  you're
• 2:43
  not
• 2:43
  alone
• 2:44
  and
• 2:44
  feeling
• 2:44
  like
• 2:44
  that,
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  feel
• 2:45
  that
• 2:45
  sometimes,
• 2:46
  too.
• 2:48
  Headlines
• 2:48
  are
• 2:48
  changing
• 2:49
  by
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  week.
• 2:49
  Fear
• 2:50
  changes
• 2:50
  by
• 2:50
  the
• 2:51
  hour.
• 2:51
  But
• 2:51
  worry,
• 2:52
  let
• 2:52
  me
• 2:52
  tell
• 2:52
  you
• 2:52
  right
• 2:52
  now,
• 2:53
  worry
• 2:53
  is
• 2:53
  as
• 2:53
  old
• 2:53
  as
• 2:53
  humanity.
• 2:54
  People
• 2:55
  have
• 2:55
  been
• 2:55
  worrying
• 2:55
  since
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  beginning.
• 2:57
  But
• 2:57
  here's
• 2:58
  some
• 2:58
  reassurance.
• 2:59
  Through
• 3:00
  all
• 3:00
  those
• 3:00
  generations,
• 3:01
  through
• 3:02
  all
• 3:02
  those
• 3:03
  years
• 3:03
  of
• 3:03
  humanity,
• 3:05
  God's
• 3:05
  faithfulness
• 3:06
  has
• 3:06
  never
• 3:06
  wavered.
• 3:07
  One
• 3:08
  time.
• 3:10
  This
• 3:10
  is
• 3:10
  a
• 3:10
  bedrock
• 3:11
  verse.
• 3:11
  Psalm
• 3:11
  23:1.
• 3:13
  The
• 3:13
  Lord
• 3:13
  is
• 3:14
  my
• 3:14
  shepherd.
• 3:14
  I
• 3:15
  lack
• 3:16
  nothing.
• 3:17
  Think
• 3:17
  about
• 3:17
  what
• 3:17
  a
• 3:17
  shepherd
• 3:18
  does.
• 3:19
  A
• 3:19
  shepherd's
• 3:20
  job
• 3:20
  is
• 3:20
  provision
• 3:22
  providing.
• 3:24
  And
• 3:24
  if
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  Lord
• 3:25
  is
• 3:25
  my
• 3:25
  shepherd,
• 3:26
  that
• 3:27
  burden
• 3:27
  of
• 3:27
  provision
• 3:27
  is
• 3:28
  his,
• 3:29
  not
• 3:29
  yours.
• 3:31
  And
• 3:31
  I've
• 3:31
  watched
• 3:32
  God
• 3:32
  meet
• 3:32
  needs
• 3:33
  in
• 3:33
  lean
• 3:34
  seasons
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  my
• 3:34
  life.
• 3:35
  I'm
• 3:35
  talking
• 3:35
  about
• 3:35
  times
• 3:35
  when
• 3:35
  I
• 3:36
  was
• 3:36
  like,
• 3:36
  lord,
• 3:37
  I'm
• 3:37
  leaning
• 3:37
  on
• 3:38
  you
• 3:38
  today,
• 3:38
  dude,
• 3:38
  because
• 3:38
  I
• 3:39
  don't
• 3:39
  know,
• 3:39
  I
• 3:39
  can't
• 3:39
  do
• 3:39
  this
• 3:40
  on
• 3:40
  my
• 3:40
  own.
• 3:40
  I've
• 3:40
  seen
• 3:40
  him
• 3:41
  lead
• 3:41
  it
• 3:41
  in
• 3:41
  chaotic
• 3:42
  seasons,
• 3:43
  unexpected
• 3:44
  seasons,
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45
  so
• 3:46
  many
• 3:46
  times
• 3:46
  in
• 3:47
  seasons
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  made
• 3:47
  no
• 3:48
  sense
• 3:48
  at
• 3:48
  all.
• 3:48
  I
• 3:48
  was
• 3:48
  like,
• 3:48
  God,
• 3:49
  I
• 3:49
  don't
• 3:49
  know
• 3:49
  what
• 3:49
  you're
• 3:49
  doing,
• 3:49
  dude,
• 3:50
  but
• 3:50
  amen.
• 3:51
  And
• 3:51
  praised
• 3:51
  God
• 3:52
  for
• 3:52
  those
• 3:52
  things.
• 3:54
  And
• 3:54
  I've
• 3:54
  worked
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  families
• 3:55
  who
• 3:55
  found
• 3:55
  peace
• 3:56
  when
• 3:56
  they
• 3:56
  planned
• 3:56
  wisely,
• 3:57
  when
• 3:57
  they
• 3:58
  trusted
• 3:58
  deeply
• 3:59
  and
• 4:00
  they
• 4:00
  watched
• 4:00
  God
• 4:00
  provide
• 4:01
  one
• 4:01
  day
• 4:01
  at
• 4:01
  a
• 4:01
  time.
• 4:02
  See,
• 4:02
  that
• 4:02
  is
• 4:02
  so
• 4:02
  much
• 4:02
  the
• 4:03
  secret
• 4:03
  sauce
• 4:03
  of
• 4:03
  it.
• 4:04
  Just
• 4:04
  one
• 4:05
  day
• 4:05
  at
• 4:05
  a
• 4:05
  time.
• 4:07
  But
• 4:07
  that
• 4:07
  practical
• 4:08
  planning
• 4:08
  doesn't
• 4:08
  replace
• 4:09
  faith.
• 4:09
  It
• 4:10
  strengthens
• 4:10
  it.
• 4:11
  A
• 4:12
  friend
• 4:12
  of
• 4:12
  mine
• 4:12
  was
• 4:12
  terrified
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  a
• 4:13
  slow
• 4:13
  quarter
• 4:14
  coming
• 4:14
  up
• 4:14
  in
• 4:14
  their
• 4:14
  business.
• 4:15
  They
• 4:15
  were
• 4:15
  so
• 4:16
  worried
• 4:16
  about
• 4:16
  Ralph
• 4:16
  this
• 4:17
  next
• 4:17
  year.
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  don't
• 4:17
  know
• 4:18
  what's
• 4:18
  going
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  happen.
• 4:19
  What
• 4:20
  did
• 4:20
  they
• 4:20
  do?
• 4:20
  They
• 4:20
  built
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  lean
• 4:21
  plan.
• 4:21
  They
• 4:22
  looked
• 4:22
  at
• 4:22
  their
• 4:22
  needs
• 4:22
  versus
• 4:23
  wants.
• 4:24
  Here's
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  things
• 4:24
  I've
• 4:25
  got
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  do.
• 4:25
  These
• 4:26
  are
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  things
• 4:26
  that
• 4:26
  I
• 4:26
  must
• 4:27
  do.
• 4:28
  They
• 4:28
  did
• 4:29
  that.
• 4:29
  They
• 4:29
  built
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  plan.
• 4:29
  But
• 4:30
  you
• 4:30
  know
• 4:30
  what
• 4:30
  they
• 4:30
  did
• 4:30
  that
• 4:30
  was
• 4:30
  even
• 4:30
  bigger
• 4:31
  than
• 4:31
  that?
• 4:31
  They
• 4:31
  prayed
• 4:32
  daily.
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  mean,
• 4:34
  they
• 4:34
  prayed
• 4:34
  incessantly.
• 4:35
  And
• 4:36
  they
• 4:36
  just
• 4:36
  sat
• 4:36
  there
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  watched
• 4:37
  God's
• 4:38
  provision.
• 4:38
  They
• 4:38
  tracked
• 4:39
  it.
• 4:40
  Did
• 4:40
  the
• 4:41
  income
• 4:41
  come
• 4:41
  in
• 4:41
  perfectly?
• 4:43
  Not
• 4:43
  at
• 4:43
  all.
• 4:45
  But
• 4:45
  every
• 4:45
  need
• 4:46
  was
• 4:46
  met
• 4:47
  exactly
• 4:47
  when
• 4:47
  they
• 4:48
  needed
• 4:48
  it.
• 4:49
  Not
• 4:49
  early,
• 4:50
  not
• 4:50
  excessive,
• 4:51
  just
• 4:52
  faithful.
• 4:53
  See,
• 4:53
  that's
• 4:54
  what
• 4:54
  provision
• 4:54
  really
• 4:54
  looks
• 4:55
  like.
• 4:56
  So
• 4:56
  here's
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  heart
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  today's
• 4:57
  message.
• 4:59
  How
• 4:59
  do
• 4:59
  you
• 4:59
  quiet
• 4:59
  the
• 5:00
  fear?
• 5:00
  How
• 5:01
  do
• 5:01
  you
• 5:01
  strengthen
• 5:01
  your
• 5:02
  faith?
• 5:02
  And
• 5:02
  how
• 5:02
  do
• 5:02
  you
• 5:03
  walk
• 5:03
  into
• 5:03
  next
• 5:03
  year
• 5:03
  with
• 5:04
  confidence
• 5:04
  instead
• 5:04
  of
• 5:05
  anxiety?
• 5:06
  Trust
• 5:07
  me,
• 5:07
  this
• 5:08
  is
• 5:08
  for
• 5:08
  me
• 5:08
  today
• 5:08
  too.
• 5:09
  Let's
• 5:09
  walk
• 5:09
  through
• 5:09
  it.
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10
  want
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  give
• 5:11
  you
• 5:11
  ways
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  build
• 5:12
  faith
• 5:12
  filled
• 5:12
  confidence.
• 5:13
  First
• 5:13
  thing,
• 5:15
  name
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  fear
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  answer
• 5:16
  it
• 5:16
  with
• 5:16
  scripture.
• 5:18
  If
• 5:18
  you've
• 5:18
  listened
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  my
• 5:19
  show
• 5:19
  for
• 5:19
  a
• 5:19
  while,
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  know
• 5:20
  I've
• 5:20
  said
• 5:20
  this
• 5:20
  before,
• 5:20
  Fear
• 5:21
  grows
• 5:21
  in
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  dark.
• 5:23
  Those
• 5:23
  shadows.
• 5:24
  Things
• 5:24
  you'd
• 5:25
  not
• 5:25
  be
• 5:25
  able
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  see.
• 5:27
  So
• 5:28
  bring
• 5:28
  it
• 5:28
  into
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  light.
• 5:30
  Identify
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  exact
• 5:31
  fear
• 5:32
  that
• 5:32
  you're
• 5:32
  feeling.
• 5:32
  Maybe
• 5:32
  it's
• 5:33
  your
• 5:33
  job.
• 5:33
  Maybe
• 5:33
  you're
• 5:33
  worried
• 5:33
  about
• 5:34
  losing
• 5:34
  your
• 5:34
  job.
• 5:35
  Business
• 5:36
  has
• 5:36
  been
• 5:36
  shaky.
• 5:37
  Maybe
• 5:38
  it's
• 5:38
  those
• 5:38
  bills.
• 5:38
  You're
• 5:38
  like,
• 5:38
  Ralph,
• 5:39
  I
• 5:39
  don't
• 5:39
  know
• 5:39
  how
• 5:39
  I'm
• 5:39
  going
• 5:39
  to
• 5:39
  pay
• 5:39
  the
• 5:40
  bills.
• 5:40
  The
• 5:40
  heating
• 5:41
  season
• 5:41
  in
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  east
• 5:42
  coast
• 5:42
  is
• 5:42
  coming.
• 5:42
  People
• 5:42
  are
• 5:43
  worried
• 5:43
  about
• 5:43
  cool
• 5:43
  warming
• 5:44
  their
• 5:44
  home.
• 5:45
  Maybe
• 5:45
  for
• 5:46
  you,
• 5:46
  like
• 5:46
  my
• 5:46
  wife,
• 5:46
  it's
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  grocery
• 5:47
  bill.
• 5:47
  Just
• 5:47
  keeps
• 5:48
  on
• 5:48
  climbing
• 5:48
  and
• 5:48
  climbing
• 5:49
  and
• 5:49
  climbing.
• 5:51
  Maybe
• 5:51
  for
• 5:51
  you
• 5:51
  it's
• 5:51
  medical
• 5:52
  costs.
• 5:52
  You
• 5:52
  know
• 5:52
  you're
• 5:52
  going
• 5:53
  through
• 5:53
  a
• 5:53
  season
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  I'm
• 5:54
  praying
• 5:54
  for
• 5:54
  you
• 5:54
  right
• 5:54
  now.
• 5:55
  Reach
• 5:55
  out
• 5:56
  to
• 5:56
  me
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  share
• 5:56
  with
• 5:56
  you.
• 5:56
  Going
• 5:57
  through.
• 5:57
  No
• 5:58
  matter
• 5:58
  what
• 5:58
  those
• 5:58
  things
• 5:58
  are,
• 5:58
  identify
• 5:59
  those
• 5:59
  fears.
• 6:00
  But
• 6:00
  write
• 6:01
  it
• 6:01
  down.
• 6:02
  Replace
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  fear
• 6:03
  loop
• 6:04
  with
• 6:04
  a
• 6:04
  truth
• 6:04
  loop.
• 6:05
  One
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  things
• 6:06
  that
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  encourage
• 6:06
  people
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  do
• 6:07
  is
• 6:07
  speak
• 6:07
  scripture
• 6:08
  out
• 6:08
  loud.
• 6:09
  Speak
• 6:10
  it
• 6:10
  into
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  fear
• 6:11
  because
• 6:11
  truth
• 6:11
  is
• 6:11
  loud
• 6:12
  when
• 6:12
  it
• 6:12
  gives
• 6:12
  it
• 6:12
  breath.
• 6:14
  When
• 6:14
  fear
• 6:15
  speaks,
• 6:15
  let
• 6:15
  scripture
• 6:16
  answer
• 6:18
  another
• 6:18
  thing
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  can
• 6:19
  do.
• 6:19
  Build
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  needs
• 6:20
  first
• 6:20
  spending
• 6:21
  plan.
• 6:22
  You
• 6:22
  notice
• 6:22
  what
• 6:22
  I
• 6:23
  said
• 6:23
  there?
• 6:23
  Needs
• 6:23
  first.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  We
• 6:24
  may
• 6:24
  go
• 6:24
  through
• 6:25
  seasons
• 6:25
  where
• 6:26
  we
• 6:26
  need
• 6:26
  to
• 6:26
  be
• 6:26
  lean,
• 6:27
  where
• 6:27
  we
• 6:27
  need
• 6:27
  to
• 6:28
  understand
• 6:28
  our
• 6:28
  needs
• 6:28
  versus
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  ones.
• 6:29
  Because
• 6:30
  that
• 6:30
  clarity
• 6:30
  will
• 6:30
  shrink
• 6:31
  anxiety.
• 6:32
  But
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  gotta
• 6:33
  have
• 6:33
  a
• 6:33
  plan
• 6:33
  for
• 6:33
  that.
• 6:34
  Start
• 6:34
  with
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  essentials.
• 6:35
  Here's
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  things
• 6:35
  I
• 6:35
  have
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  do.
• 6:35
  I
• 6:36
  have
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  have
• 6:36
  food,
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  gotta
• 6:37
  eat,
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  gotta
• 6:38
  have
• 6:38
  shelter.
• 6:39
  I
• 6:39
  gotta
• 6:39
  have
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  place
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  live.
• 6:40
  And
• 6:40
  I
• 6:40
  gotta
• 6:41
  have
• 6:41
  utilities.
• 6:42
  You
• 6:42
  gotta
• 6:43
  trim
• 6:43
  those
• 6:43
  ones
• 6:43
  for
• 6:43
  A
• 6:44
  season.
• 6:44
  Sometimes
• 6:44
  it's
• 6:45
  not
• 6:45
  punishment,
• 6:46
  it's
• 6:47
  protection.
• 6:48
  And
• 6:48
  when
• 6:49
  you
• 6:49
  plan
• 6:49
  like
• 6:49
  that,
• 6:49
  when
• 6:49
  you
• 6:49
  plan
• 6:50
  that
• 6:50
  need
• 6:50
  based
• 6:50
  first,
• 6:51
  it
• 6:51
  honored
• 6:52
  stewardship.
• 6:52
  And
• 6:52
  it
• 6:53
  multiplies
• 6:53
  peace.
• 6:53
  Because
• 6:53
  guess
• 6:54
  what
• 6:54
  happens.
• 6:54
  I've
• 6:55
  seen
• 6:55
  this
• 6:55
  in
• 6:55
  my
• 6:55
  own
• 6:55
  life.
• 6:56
  When
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  lean
• 6:57
  into
• 6:57
  that
• 6:58
  and
• 6:58
  you
• 6:58
  pray
• 6:58
  about
• 6:59
  it,
• 6:59
  God
• 7:00
  just
• 7:00
  meets
• 7:00
  you
• 7:01
  exactly
• 7:01
  where
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  need
• 7:01
  to
• 7:01
  be.
• 7:02
  And
• 7:02
  he
• 7:02
  doesn't
• 7:02
  meet
• 7:02
  you
• 7:02
  with
• 7:03
  abundance.
• 7:03
  Oftentimes
• 7:03
  you're
• 7:04
  like,
• 7:04
  wow,
• 7:04
  I
• 7:04
  mean,
• 7:04
  dude,
• 7:04
  I
• 7:04
  would
• 7:05
  rather
• 7:05
  have
• 7:05
  more,
• 7:05
  sure.
• 7:06
  But
• 7:06
  he
• 7:07
  meets
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  with
• 7:07
  what
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  need
• 7:08
  for
• 7:08
  today.
• 7:09
  Which
• 7:09
  leads
• 7:09
  me
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  this
• 7:10
  practice,
• 7:11
  daily
• 7:11
  gratitude.
• 7:12
  The
• 7:13
  fastest
• 7:13
  fear
• 7:14
  killer
• 7:14
  is
• 7:15
  gratitude.
• 7:16
  Because
• 7:16
  gratitude
• 7:17
  reframes
• 7:17
  what
• 7:17
  you
• 7:17
  see.
• 7:18
  Suddenly
• 7:18
  not
• 7:18
  enough
• 7:19
  becomes.
• 7:19
  Look
• 7:19
  what
• 7:20
  God
• 7:20
  carried
• 7:20
  me
• 7:20
  today.
• 7:21
  Look
• 7:21
  how
• 7:21
  he
• 7:22
  carried
• 7:22
  me
• 7:22
  today.
• 7:22
  Look
• 7:22
  at
• 7:22
  what
• 7:23
  he
• 7:23
  gave
• 7:23
  me.
• 7:23
  Gratitude
• 7:24
  shifts
• 7:24
  your
• 7:24
  attention
• 7:24
  from
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  uncertain
• 7:25
  future
• 7:26
  to
• 7:26
  a
• 7:26
  God's
• 7:27
  proven
• 7:27
  track
• 7:27
  record.
• 7:29
  You
• 7:29
  might
• 7:29
  study
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  market.
• 7:30
  The
• 7:30
  market
• 7:30
  has
• 7:31
  ups
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  downs,
• 7:31
  but
• 7:31
  God
• 7:32
  doesn't
• 7:32
  have
• 7:32
  those.
• 7:33
  He
• 7:33
  always
• 7:34
  provides
• 7:34
  for
• 7:34
  us.
• 7:35
  And
• 7:36
  that
• 7:36
  thankful
• 7:36
  heart,
• 7:36
  that
• 7:37
  grateful
• 7:37
  heart
• 7:38
  will
• 7:38
  suffocate
• 7:39
  that
• 7:39
  anxiety.
• 7:41
  One
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  most
• 7:42
  concrete
• 7:42
  ways
• 7:42
  you
• 7:42
  can
• 7:43
  do
• 7:43
  that
• 7:43
  is
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  keep
• 7:43
  a
• 7:43
  provision
• 7:44
  journal.
• 7:45
  You
• 7:45
  might
• 7:45
  say,
• 7:46
  Ralph,
• 7:46
  here
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  go
• 7:46
  talking
• 7:46
  about
• 7:46
  journals
• 7:47
  again.
• 7:48
  But
• 7:48
  write
• 7:48
  down
• 7:48
  every
• 7:49
  moment
• 7:49
  of
• 7:49
  God's
• 7:50
  faithfulness,
• 7:50
  whether
• 7:50
  it
• 7:51
  be
• 7:51
  big
• 7:51
  or
• 7:51
  small.
• 7:52
  You're
• 7:52
  going
• 7:52
  to
• 7:52
  be
• 7:53
  amazed.
• 7:53
  When
• 7:53
  you
• 7:53
  look
• 7:53
  at
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  bills
• 7:54
  he
• 7:54
  paid,
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  help
• 7:55
  you
• 7:55
  receive,
• 7:56
  that
• 7:56
  unexpected
• 7:56
  discount
• 7:57
  you
• 7:57
  weren't
• 7:57
  expecting,
• 7:57
  that
• 7:58
  financial
• 7:58
  breakthrough.
• 8:00
  And
• 8:00
  a
• 8:00
  need
• 8:00
  met
• 8:01
  right
• 8:01
  on
• 8:01
  time.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  over
• 8:03
  time,
• 8:03
  let
• 8:04
  me
• 8:04
  tell
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  right
• 8:04
  now,
• 8:04
  friend,
• 8:04
  you're
• 8:04
  going
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  see
• 8:05
  a
• 8:05
  pattern.
• 8:07
  God
• 8:07
  didn't
• 8:07
  fail
• 8:07
  you
• 8:08
  then,
• 8:08
  and
• 8:08
  he
• 8:08
  won't
• 8:08
  start
• 8:08
  failing
• 8:09
  you
• 8:09
  now.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  that
• 8:11
  past
• 8:11
  becomes
• 8:12
  proof
• 8:12
  for
• 8:12
  your
• 8:13
  future.
• 8:13
  But
• 8:13
  you
• 8:13
  got
• 8:13
  to
• 8:13
  write
• 8:14
  it
• 8:14
  down.
• 8:15
  I
• 8:15
  love
• 8:15
  what
• 8:15
  Philippians
• 8:16
  chapter
• 8:16
  4:19
• 8:17
  says,
• 8:17
  and
• 8:18
  my
• 8:18
  God
• 8:18
  will
• 8:18
  meet
• 8:19
  all
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  your
• 8:19
  needs.
• 8:21
  But
• 8:21
  how
• 8:21
  about
• 8:22
  1st
• 8:22
  Peter
• 8:22
  5,
• 8:23
  7,
• 8:24
  cast
• 8:24
  all
• 8:24
  your
• 8:25
  anxiety
• 8:25
  on
• 8:25
  him
• 8:25
  because
• 8:26
  he
• 8:26
  cares
• 8:26
  for
• 8:26
  you.
• 8:28
  Your
• 8:28
  needs
• 8:29
  matter
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  God,
• 8:31
  not
• 8:31
  your
• 8:31
  numbers.
• 8:33
  Your
• 8:33
  needs
• 8:33
  matter
• 8:34
  to
• 8:34
  him.
• 8:35
  How
• 8:35
  about
• 8:35
  we
• 8:35
  pray
• 8:36
  together?
• 8:36
  Lord,
• 8:37
  we'd
• 8:37
  ask
• 8:37
  you
• 8:37
  right
• 8:37
  now
• 8:37
  in
• 8:38
  this
• 8:38
  season
• 8:38
  to
• 8:38
  replace
• 8:39
  my
• 8:39
  fear
• 8:39
  with
• 8:39
  trust
• 8:39
  in
• 8:40
  you,
• 8:40
  Lord.
• 8:40
  You've
• 8:40
  promised
• 8:40
  me
• 8:41
  provision.
• 8:42
  You're
• 8:42
  never
• 8:42
  going
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  leave
• 8:43
  me.
• 8:43
  You're
• 8:43
  never
• 8:43
  going
• 8:43
  to
• 8:43
  forsake
• 8:44
  me,
• 8:44
  Lord.
• 8:45
  And
• 8:46
  right
• 8:46
  now,
• 8:46
  at
• 8:46
  this
• 8:46
  moment,
• 8:46
  teach
• 8:47
  me
• 8:47
  to
• 8:47
  recognize
• 8:48
  your
• 8:48
  Enough.
• 8:48
  Not
• 8:49
  my
• 8:49
  enough.
• 8:51
  Open
• 8:51
  my
• 8:51
  eyes
• 8:51
  to
• 8:52
  see
• 8:52
  that
• 8:52
  daily
• 8:52
  provision.
• 8:53
  Lord,
• 8:53
  help
• 8:53
  me
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  live
• 8:53
  in
• 8:54
  gratitude.
