Matthew 6:34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
When things aren’t going well there’s a tendency to assume the future holds more of the same. For some strange reason this doesn’t happen as much when things are going fine, but a laugh, a smile and a warm feeling are fleeting and we know it. We take the good times at face value in the moment for all they’re worth, and then we let them go. But when we’re depressed, struggling, or fearful, it’s easy to heap more pain on ourselves by assuming tomorrow will be exactly like today and there's no hope of changing it.
Then your life begins it's journey in a circle. If you don’t allow yourself to move past what happened, what was said, what was felt, you will look at your future through that same dirty lens, and nothing will be able to breach your circle of despair. You will keep on justifying, reliving, and reigniting a perception that shouldn’t have existed in the first place. The devil will then try to use your present circumstances to stop God's future blessings. If your concentration is only on how much worse can it get rather than on how much God can make it better, breakthrough will never happen.
Life doesn't always go in a straight line. There are two paths presented to us and we have to decide which one we will take. Sometimes the pressure coming from our peers, family, work, and society in general is enough to make us feel completely broken inside or like we have chosen the wrong path. If we don’t have the right job, relationship, lifestyle, and so forth, by a certain age then we assume our pattern of past failures or lack of blessings will never be broken; but that’s not true at all. Life is meant to be a series of endings and new beginnings. Sometimes it looks like a mess, but praise God it's a beautiful mess. So whatever situation you’re in right now, just know that God can give you a breakthrough to change it. It’s up to you. You just have to turn yourself around and believe God for something new to happen in your life. Your personal breakthrough is on the way!
So don't worry about how many times you've failed. Don't worry about how many times you have stumbled. Don't worry that things never seem to go your way. God is in control and just as the prophet said ready to do a new thing in your life.
Isaiah 43:19 "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
