This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Well, today we continue in our series called Building a Better Future.

In these lessons, Pastor Rick shares how we can build a foundation for a better future

by following the examples of leaders in the Bible who followed God's calling to rebuild

after a time of captivity.

What you've probably noticed, the more grateful a person is, the happier they are.

That's the power of gratitude.

But it's not always easy to feel grateful.

That's why Pastor Rick developed a great new resource called the Power of Gratitude.

Now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with Part 1 of a message called, In Listing Support for Your Dream.

After you have a clear vision or a dream of what you feel God has called you to do with your life,

the next step, and that's what we're going to talk about today, is to enlist others who can support your dream.

Now, fortunately, chapter 2 of Nehemiah's story gives us a very practical model of how to do that.

But before we look at Nehemiah's example of how to enlist other people to support your dream,

you need to understand two facts about dreams.

First, no dream is built without support.

No dream is ever built without support.

Just like a building needs support, your dream needs support. Choose successes never one men show.

Anything significant that's done in your life, any great dream will require help from others.

You know, okay, my wife has a message called it takes a team to fulfill a dream.

The Saddleback Church is able to do amazing things because of about 15,000 people who volunteer every single week
