something good is going to happen...

"When fear knocks on your door send FAITH to answer!"
Joyce Meyers

When was the last time you said to yourself, Something good is going to happen to me!

For most people it's been a long time
like for me i can say this is not something i say
very often or at all really
No matter who you are where you live, you're probably surrounded by negativity,anxiety and fear.
It's been proved that negative news attracts attention, so every day, no matter what's going on in the world, you don't have to go far to find bad news it will literally chase you down.
From a natural disaster to family matters it's there.
It's like there's something broken in us that wants to be scared.
But 365 times in the Bible, God says,"FEAR NOT." He doesn't want us to be afraid,anxious or worried. He wants us to trust that He's in control of our lives, that He loves us, and that He's greater than our greatest fears.
He wants us to say
"Something good is going to happen to me"

I experienced some truly awful things in my young life. My heart has been broken so many times I finally decided it hurt less to always expect the worst. That way, I was never disappointed with the pain of unfulfilled hopes and unmet expectations.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who as felt this way in life have you ever been to the point that you tell yourself whatever can go wrong, WILL!
no doubt that a turning point in my life was when God put it on my heart to stop the fear and trust!
well,
STOP LETTING THE FEAR WIN.
Most people think about the worst thing that could happen to them as a means to deal with their fears, They try to tell themselves, OK. What's the worst that could happen? I could probably handle that.
And in thinking they've kept the fear under control, what they have actually done is allow negative thoughts to darken their mind. But God never created any of HIS children to live this way.He wants you and me to focus on His love and his goodness so regularly that we're always saying to ourselves, Something good is going to happen to me.
Few people in the Bible suffered worse than Job. He knew what it was like to go through a really difficult season. As he was being attacked over & over,he finally came to the place where he said, For the things which i greatly fear comes upon me,and that of which i am afraid befalls me (Job3:25)
Fear isn't rational;it doesn't fight fair
It twist our emotions,tricks our minds an amplifies even the smallest worry.The enemy wants us to focus on the things we're most afraid of because he knows we're in that place,we take our eyes off God.  I'm not saying if you have a fearful thought,whatever you fear is immediately going to happen to you.But i do believe if you focus on something over and over,if you are always stressed and worried about it, you create an environment where it definitely could.When we always expect the worst,we are telling our family and friends, "i don't trust you."
BY me expecting the worst I am telling God and Nikki that I don't fully trust them,also showing I am not really sure if they love me..for me to receive what God has for me i have to change.I believe with all my heart if i don't transformer my self fully i wont be where God has me to be in life.

You can't defeat fear by being logical and rational: if you rely on your own strength, it will fail you. The way you deal with fear is by trusting God's promises,receiving His love for you,and believing this:
"Something Good is going to happen to me."
You won't be able to receive what God has for you as long as you fear the worst. Every tie you have a fearful though, I want you to stop and say to yourself, God hasn't forsaken me:He's with me, and He's in control on my life.Something good is going to happen to me.

The Bible says in Zechariah 9:12 that we are "prisoners of hope."
We need to retrain our thoughts to expect better things,and put an end to the ongoing paralysis of fear.

Trust me I know how hard it is to "give it to God" and i mean fully. When you do though you break FREE from pain,fears,worry.
and it's the most amazing feeling to be able to look back at my life with painful times and know that God has changed my heart I no longer feel the pain I once did.
PRAISE THE LORD!
