If your thoughts keep racing toward worst-case scenarios, this short, grounded conversation offers a different path: gratitude that reshapes how you see tomorrow. Lauren takes us into Jeremiah 29:11 and shows how remembering God’s steady character can turn anxious forecasting into a confident, steady next step. We don’t deny hard realities; we learn to anchor our hopes in a Planner who is good, even when the timing is slow and the details are unclear.

We walk through a simple practice you can do today: write down one future worry, declare “God is faithful and he will take care of this,” and thank him in advance for the help you need. From there, we link gratitude to action with small, concrete moves—making the call, seeking counsel, setting a budget, or scheduling the appointment—so faith and wisdom work together. Along the way, Lauren offers a short prayer for trust and peace, plus a reminder that your story isn’t finished and your future is not a mystery to God.

You’ll hear why gratitude is more than positive thinking; it’s spiritual memory that builds resilience, calms the nervous system, and opens your imagination to God-shaped possibilities. Whether you’re facing a hard decision, a financial pinch, or a long wait, you’ll leave with language to steady your heart and a practice to repeat all week. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope today, and leave a quick review to help others find encouragement when they need it most.

00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:32.469
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:32.710 --> 00:00:33.670
I'm Rick.

00:00:33.829 --> 00:00:38.789
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:42.549
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:42.789 --> 00:00:44.469
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:44.710 --> 00:00:46.310
Let's get started.

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:49.350
And now, weekends with Lauren.

00:00:52.390 --> 00:00:54.469
Today is day 327.

00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:58.069
Gratitude changes how you see the future.

00:00:58.310 --> 00:01:03.269
We'll be in Jeremiah 29, verse 11 from the New Living Translation.

00:01:03.590 --> 00:01:09.750
Hey there, it's Sunday, and we're going to finish the weekend by focusing on hope for the future.

00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:13.510
For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:19.269
They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

00:01:20.069 --> 00:01:27.349
Gratitude doesn't just change how you see the past and the present, it also changes how you see the future.

00:01:27.590 --> 00:01:32.789
When you thank God for his faithfulness, you're reminded that he has good plans for you.

00:01:33.189 --> 00:01:40.069
Thankfulness creates hope because it roots you in the truth that God has been faithful before and he will be faithful again.

00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:44.549
You can face the future with confidence because you know who holds it.

00:01:45.189 --> 00:01:46.709
Now, do this for me.

00:01:46.950 --> 00:01:50.229
Write down one area of your future that you're worried about.

00:01:50.469 --> 00:01:54.709
Next to it, write, God is faithful and he will take care of this.

00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:57.670
Thank him in advance for what he's going to do.

00:01:57.989 --> 00:01:59.509
Now let's pray.

00:01:59.829 --> 00:02:02.869
Lord, thank you that my future is in your hands.

00:02:03.109 --> 00:02:06.869
Help me trust you fully and face tomorrow with gratitude and hope.

00:02:07.109 --> 00:02:07.750
Amen.

00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:16.150
Now remember, Rick has your daily dose of wisdom all week long, starting tomorrow, and I will see you next Sunday.

00:02:16.469 --> 00:02:17.590
Saturday.

00:02:22.789 --> 00:02:25.270
Well, that's all for today.

00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:30.390
But remember, I'm here every weekend, and you should be too.

00:02:31.909 --> 00:02:36.949
The executive producer for Wisdom for the Day, Weekends with Lauren, is Kimmy Shirley.

00:02:38.389 --> 00:02:41.669
Special intro and outro music by Weston McCurry.

00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:47.750
You can message me or Rick at renewedmindsets.com/slash contact.

00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:51.189
I'm so glad we had this time together.

00:02:51.349 --> 00:02:55.349
And don't forget, he's not finished writing your story.

00:02:57.030 --> 00:03:01.990
Come back next time and we'll keep walking it out together here on weekends with Lauren.

00:03:03.030 --> 00:03:04.949
I love you all so much.

00:03:06.549 --> 00:03:07.189
Bye.
