Do you pray with your eyes on God? Or do you pray with your eyes on your problems? To defeat your problem, you must give thanks to God for what He has done for you.

He is with you. He hears you. He loves you. He is your best friend. He will never let you down. Believe in Him. You should never waste a minute of your life doubting God. Instead, you should focus on what you have, not on what you don’t have. You should focus on what God has done for you, not on what He is working on. You should focus on solutions, not on problems.

God doesn’t want you to dwell on what you don’t have. He wants you to choose life. He wants you to live a balanced-life. He wants you to focus on possibilities, not on problems.

When you pray with your eyes on God, God will never let you down. According to Oswald Chambers, “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” If you want to solve your problems, don’t focus on your issues, focus on the possibilities. Remember, you are not in charge of your problems. God is in charge of your problems. He knows what your problems are. All you need to do is to be grateful for what He has done for you.

Every Exit Is An Entry Somewhere Else

The end of something is the beginning of another thing. Whatever you may have lost in the past, let it go. You are living in the present, not in the past. If you want God to help you get it back, you must focus your mind on a positive future. You must stop dwelling on your past errors. You must stop focusing on negative things. You must stop expecting negative things to happen to you. You must stop hanging out with negative people.

Remember that the end of a terrible relationship is the beginning of a positive relationship. Remember also that the end of working for a bad boss is the beginning of working for a better boss. The end of your old life is the beginning of your new life. God wants you to focus your mind on better things, not on small things. Remember, God doesn’t create you to live in fear. God created you to live in love. Because God is love. Oswald Chambers said, “It is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future.” He also said, “Every exit is an entry somewhere else.” If you want positive things to come to you, you must let go of what is holding you back. You must let go of negative thoughts.
