Gospel optimism anticipates good–because it trusts in God and His goodness.

* Rejoice always

* Pray continually

* Give thanks in everything

 

Live it Out!

* Am I finding joy in God’s plan for me?

* Am I praying for God’s work?

* Am I thankful in what God is doing in your life right now?

* Daily rehearse the truths of the gospel

* Depend on prayer “not my will, but Thine”

* Develop a heart of thankfulness and rejoicing
