The worst things that can get in the way of our love and faith in God is us. Our freedom lets us choose the life we want to live. How does telling yourself that "nothing good will come my way" change anything. How will telling ourselves "God doesn't hear me or love me" change anything. The mind is a powerful tool and whilst we clog our thoughts w deep rooted negative messages how will we be able to see or hear the words of God? Optimism, Faith and Love allows for the clarity of the mind to unveil. It allows us to receive the fruits of the holy spirit. Remember to trust that God indeed does have a plan for you. Nahum 1:7 "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,"
