Philippians 4:8-9. Positive thinking is rooted in what we believe about God and what He says in His word.

Luke 12:22-26 Tells us not to worry! God is our source. The devil wants us to fear and not have faith or the assurance of God. When anxiety begins to overwhelm you, refocus your mind on his truth and authority over your lives.

Isaiah 43:4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

Doubt shows up when we turn from what God said because of fear, noise, sounds. There was a song in the 80's that said, "Don't Believe The Hype". We must keep our eyes on God and walk with Him knowing that He is in control.

Blesses is the ONE who perseveres under trial. James 1:12 - perseverance is persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.

Fear many times paralyze and prevent us for moving forward and doubt God. Faith moves mountains and pleases God. Do not fear, God will help you. He is the Lord over it all.

Believe means to have faith that God is alive, is active and is keenly interested in YOU today. God is and you must believe that He is according to Hebrew 11:6

Mercy is simply withholding a punishment that is deserved or some terrible thing that someone COULD inflict upon you, but does not.

Many tend to draw closer to God when things go wrong, bad or in turmoil. Know that God is aware of everything and wants you to know that He is the Lord. He is in control!

Psalms 46:10 gives us a command to be still and know that He is God. He is our refuge and our strength. Open your eyes and know that God is with you in conflict, trouble and challenges.
