When we focus on our problems we tend to get depressed. At all times of life believers are challenged to focus on the Lord—who He is to us, what He has done for us, where He is taking us, and how much He loves us.
Before we know it, we are praising God. We are lost in Him. What a delight!
When we are lost in Him, our will and our desires will be lost in Him as well. When this happens, He will lift us out of our sadness and fill us with His glory.
Psalm 37:4-5 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
In the midst of our struggles God is looking for faith and obedience in us. His promise is that our faith will never be in vain. Trust Him
