Think Positive Matthew 8:13

Lately I've been feeling negative and anxious on a daily basis. This is so out of character for me. I paint a pretty picture for the world to see on the outside but  inside the picture is cut to shreds.

Last week I realized I haven't been praying, haven't felt spiritual, haven't felt good about anything in my world. Walking in circles, on the verge of tears, holding my feelings in, wanting to talk to someone...someone who would listen.  I turned to my Daily Inspiration book (which has not been used in a long, long time). I read the daily devotion today on feeling positive. Then, turning to the scripture Matthew 8:13 in my bible to read and attempt to understand.  Jesus tells us that it will be done for us as we believed.

What is Jesus trying to tell me? Why the uncertainty and anxiety? 

A feeling that more storms are coming my way????

Dear Lord, I pray to you please help me. My umbrella is only so big to handle this storm and my shoulders are only so wide.  Please help me believe!  Amen!

What is it that I believe? At this point, not much of anything. Everytime something good happens, it is taken away.....Why??? What do we do to be in this disbelief??

As a deadly storm can turn into a spring shower~

Matthew 8:26 And he saith onto them. Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuke the winds and the sea....and there was a great calm.

This calm will happen when we are positive and when we believe.
