Do You Believe that You CAN be Happy?

Do you believe that you can be happy?
Does it ever enter your mind that you can live a life where you can be at peace with yourself and others?
Have you allowed fear, depression, anxiety or the other ills of this life cause you to feel completely hopeless?

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it will be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was restored to health at that very hour. Matthew 8:13 (AMP)
What do you believe?  Do you believe that you are supposed to feel down?  Do you feel that you are supposed to be hopeless?  Do you believe that depression is your life?  In my post Do You Want to Be Happy?, I cover why these feelings, while we experience them, that is all that they are meant to be experiences.  These experiences build you, they are not irrelevant.
It's time that you believe that you can be happy!  It is God's desire that we live happy lives, even if we don't feel happy every day.  We have the capability in God to live in peace while all of hell is breaking loose around us.  The question is, "do you believe that you can and that He will do this for you?"
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.  Ephesians 3:19-21 (KJV)
This scripture teaches us that God can do so much more than what we can ever ask and think according to the power that worketh in us.  That power is our belief!  Do we believe that God wants us happy?  If you have a child or a pet or a loved one, do you want them to be happy?  Usually you do and will do whatever it takes to keep them happy.  You can't assure that every day will be happy because realistically, happiness is not permanent, it is a feeling and feelings change.  On the days that you can't provide their happiness, you can see to their peace and contentment.  god-is-dnm
The fruit of God's Holy Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.  You can experience all of this on your worst day with the love of God in your heart.  Don't settle for another unhappy day.  You don't have to accept it.

You DON'T have to live in a depressed state!  You CAN be HAPPY!

You just have to BELIEVE!

Strengthen Me!

Psalm 119:28 28  My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. There will be days when we feel beat up.  There are days when the weight of the world is on our shoulders. It is in those hard times that we must tell God our truth.  We must confess how we really feel. Lord, I'm hurt.  Lord, I'm tired.  Lord, I don't think I can handle this anymore. When we pour out our heart to God, we are giving Him access to comfort and strengthen us.  His Word says, that He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us.  His Word says, He uplifts us with His right hand.  His Word says, I have loved you with an everlasting love.  His Word says, cast all of your cares on Me. I pray that as you go through this weekend that the Word of God strengthens you for whatever and everything that you are facing.

Be Free From Denial!

Have you ever experienced that feeling when you finally get something off of your chest?  You feel free, it's as a though a weight has been lifted up and off of you.  The same feeling can be experienced when we admit how we really feel.  Maybe you've been sad, angry, frustrated, depressed or otherwise. God wants us to come to Him, tell Him how we feel and give these feelings to Him.  The Bible instructs us to cast our cares onto Him.  We are supposed to throw these issues off of ourselves and allow God to care for us. Don't live in denial.  Stop walking around pretending that everything is all right!  Shake yourself free from pain and anguish!  Live and Be Free from DENIAL! via  Daily Prompt: Denial

Tip of the Day!

PRAY! "In Thessalonians 5:17, we are reminded to "Pray without ceasing".  As you are walking to a coworker's office, holding on the phone, waiting for a meeting to start, or doing a simple task, lift you company and coworkers up to the LORD." Daily Wisdom for the Workplace by Pamela McQuade. Whether you are at work, at home, at school, church, a relatives house, or wherever, we must remember to pray.  Depression creeps in when we lose our line of communication with God.  It is vital to keep that relationship in its proper place, 1st and foremost.  It is very important that we talk with God and listen to Him too.  God bless you.
