Ever wonder why things just won’t go your way and you feel lost, lonely, depressed, confused and don’t know what to do?  I think it’s natural for everyone to feel that way every once in a while, but you can overcome those feelings by believing in yourself and your abilities.  That’s when your faith is tested.  We call upon God for help during all the trying times, and we have to believe that He will make things better.  It may not come right away, but just believe that He knows what you are going through, and everything happens in your life for a reason.  We will be tested from time to time, but don’t give up hope.  Say a prayer and leave the rest to God.  When things get hard and you feel like your life is falling apart, put your faith to work and talk to God.  Ask Him for the strength to keep going.  Do not only ask Him for the strength, but ask for forgiveness of your short-falls and ask Him to transform your life into everything positive.  Only surround yourself with positive people, and you will get positive results in your life.  Do not wait until you are down.  Say “thank you” every day to Him and everyone who does something nice for you (even if it is something small or simple).  You will get into the habit of being positive, and you will have a positive outlook on life.  We all fall short in life – no one is perfect.  Just acknowledge your mistakes, ask God for forgiveness and enjoy being you and living life each and every day.
