Every now and then, I get discouraged. I let my fears get the best of me. I worry about things that I should leave in God’s hands. When I’m feeling like this, I’m not my best, and my attitude which is usually positive easily turns sour.

My family and friends can tell when I’m feeling low. It’s usually written all over my face or it’s evident in the tone of my voice. I don’t look or sound like myself. In times like this, it’s best to have a little talk with God. No one knows you like He does. During church today, my minister said you should never go a day without talking to God.

One of the things that helps me stay positive and motivated is hearing God’s word. Whenever you’re feeling alone or as if no one understands what you’re going through, remember that He is always there for you. You are never alone. We can’t let life’s challenges keep us down. God never gives you more than you can handle.  Through any difficulty you face, keep a positive attitude. If you smile in the face of adversity, you will rise above all odds.

Keep shining,
