Let your awareness of His presence renew joy and build trust that He’s still providing, even when life feels uncertain.    Bible Verses Referenced  Philippians 4:6–7 — “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God…” Psalm 100:4 — “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise…” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care.
