Do you ever look for trouble? If you do, it isn’t likely that you will be disappointed. Those who look for trouble generally find it.
A pessimistic attitude defeats us before we start. Have you ever made such comments as, “Something was bound to go wrong,” “Nothing good ever happens to me,” or “Life is just one problem after another”? To think or speak this way is to live dangerously. For your own protection, get rid of such attitudes. Otherwise, you will surely have a lot going wrong in your life and activities.
God desires joy and happiness for you—complete, full, and free. Give thanks that God’s good will is being done in and through your every experience. Focus on what is good, true, and beautiful and know that only good can happen to you.
