I let the negatives in my life get me down. I let them not only effect my current mood, but I let them put a damper on the days ahead of me.
As many of you know, I'm usually a happy person. I have a contagious smile which doesn't leave my face but sometimes, it is not the easiest to keep on.
I have days where I have an intense struggle on staying on the positive side of things. Life gets me down quite often and most of the time, I am strong enough to push through it. At other times, I can't help but get discouraged and just want to give up.
I'm the type of person that wants that "instant gratification" I want things to have an immediate result and when I don't see it, I loose sight of the good.
Even when I don't want my sight to be blurred, I can't help it.
Once I get this low, it's not easy for me to get back up and on track with a positive and open-minded out look on things.
This all gets to me so intensely that I even lose touch with God. I forget about His loving grace and mercy for me. I forget that no matter my circumstance, He is there for me to lean on.
His grace covers me.
In situations similar to mine, I just urge all of you to just stop for a few minutes. I don't care what you are doing. Just stop and pray. Even if you don't have words, just acknowledge that He is there! He is closest to those who are weak, He knows your struggles and He will never leave your side.
Keep the faith and "never stop praying!"
1 thessalonians 5:17
Try this:
When you feel like you are at your breaking point, when you think everything and everyone is failing you.. write down encouraging verses and saying onto cards.
It puts your mind into positive thinking.
Trust me, it works!
