"Focus on Things That Give You Hope"
According to David Niven, unhappy people focus on their fears while happy people focus on potential improvements in future. There are things that happen around us that cause us to lose hope daily – and this should not be. Rather than focusing on things like crime and disasters everywhere, focus on the things that give you hope. There are still so many lovely things in life.
Be sensitive to the beauty around you and know that God made these things so that you could enjoy them. Listen to your favorite music, go for a walk in nature, do enjoyable things together with the people you love and know that even though negative things do happen in the world, you can still cling to hope.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit,” is Paul’s wish for the church in Rome (Rom. 15:13). It is also my wish for you today – that you will be able to look away from all the burdens and focus on God who is the source of your hope. Then you can’t help but be happy!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please make it possible for me to focus on the things that give me hope and to look away from the things that scare me. Amen.
