See beyond your circumstances and trust in the promises of God

The affirmation in your mind about something must be stronger than the circumstances you are facing.  Speak to the picture (your belief), not the fact. The children of Israel did not believe the promises of God when they saw the giants in the land.

Take note of the powerful promises of Psalm 103:

"Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s."


Another promise is found in Romans 4:17:
"...God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did..."

Indeed, He promises us good things - in times of trouble, let us not forget all of His benefits.
