On account of poor economic situation in the country so many things seems useless, yet it worth been kind to say thank God.

You are finding it difficult to buy items to celebrate the year end? Relax another year end will come and you will do better. So? Say thank God for it.

You can't believe that you haven't gotten a good job till now? Relax next year will be better so thank God for the opportunity to have your CV submitted and graduation for there's a prospect for every graduate.

You couldn't secure admission this year? Relax, next year will certainly be better so thank God.

You can't afford to travel to celebrate the year end in your village because of the hash economic situation? Certainly it hot but yet, relax and thank God for next year will be better.

You have no money to merry in this festive season and can't buy your favourite drink? Calm down. Visit friends and merry with them for next year will be better. Even if it's difficult to visit friends yet look for cold water and drink then thank God. Remember water is the best drink and those that drink alcoholic or beverage will still take water.

You are ending the year still single and age is catching up? Calm down, yours is by the corner just thank God. Remember also that marriage is for the living.

You are married yet no child? No sign of child coming soon? Relax and be glad to God, He can do it.

You are not promoted this year and so many challenges at work place? Calm down it will pass. So? Thank God for the job.

Your family is telling you of the things other parents bought for their families this season and you haven't been paid or any hope of getting the money to buy for them? Calm down first. Remember that they are telling it to you because the believe you can? So next year will be better hence you have to thank God and be happy.

You couldn't achieve your goals this year? Still living from hand to mouth? Relax and thank God that you are among the living till year end. Remember that a few of those you knew maybe dead before now, few are in the hospital. That you are healthy is the best way to end the year...show gratitude to God.

You have not been admitted in the hospital this year? You could afford to pay your rent and bills? Rejoice and be glad for your year ends well.

You are not happy on account of the fact that things didn't work as you wished? Never mind it shall be well.

You still think that because of how hard things are and there's no reason to be kind enough to say thank God?, visit the hospital, prisons, mortuary, correction centres/ rehabilitation perhaps you will see how rich your year be.

However bad things may seem to be in your mind, please ignore it and find time to merry, find time to rejoice, find time to dance, find time to give to the needy, find time to say THANK GOD. Believe you me, yes it worth it to thank God.

Finally almighty God be thou exalted, magnified, glorified. The omnipotent and omniscient God, King of kings and Lord the most high, in humility i say thank you, thou a sinner i am, cleans me of my sins and make me pure so that my humble thanks to you will be acceptable.

Father to any that are passing through any economic challenges open doors for them as your promise in Siracha11:21 that it is possible for You to make a poor man suddenly and instantly rich. May it be so to thy people.

Sirach is in Good News Bible.

In all my years (childhood) of using the Good News Bible, I never saw it.

I'll find one and check. Is this a recent addition though?
