I wish I could come up with a witty title but

I was thinking about how bitter I used to be. I was plain miserable, never saw anything good in any day. Every day was just a chore to get through. I still feel that way once in a while when I get overwhelmed. The first thing that really helped me get through each day was a verse in Matthew, verse 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own". We just gotta focus on the task at hand and let God worry about His own plan. Think about it, why worry so much about something God has planned for us already? He's taking care of us, and I trust that for good or bad I have NOTHING to worry about. That helped me a lot in being more optimistic and well...happy!
Another thing that's helped me lately, and it was sort of a challenge from an amazing guy I look up to so much. I had a pretty good heart to heart conversation with him a couple weeks ago and he brought up that I should try to detect God moments. A moment in which I can see God working. It's sort of new for me, so I forget sometimes. But I try to think about a moment in which I felt it clear God was working to remind me that He still cares. I'm not gonna lie, some days I don't think of one, but maybe I just don't recognize them yet. But usually I find something and it really lifts my spirit high.
There's a lot of factors on why I'm so much more optimistic than I was a few years ago but these help. I think taking the time to think about how God is working in all of our lives is an important part of our faith. My faith gets stronger when I can feel God moving, and being able to see His work. Maybe it works for some people maybe it doesn't for others. But it's worth a try. Try looking for God moments in each of our days and see how He's working around us. You never know what you'll find.
