The unknown is a scary thing to think about. Who knows what tomorrow brings? Who knows what will happen to you in the next year of your life. It is a scary and yet exciting thought. I once looked at my future with a horrible outlook. I saw my life and didn't know what to think of it. All I knew is that my future was going down the drain because I most likely didn't have one. I got so tied up in this mindset that I lost control of myself and gave into only self-doubting thoughts. I forgot about all the amazing things God has done in my life and even in my current troubling situation he has not and will not abandon me just like a loving father doesn't abandon his kids. I began to revaluate my mind set and my heart towards my future and my life in general. I started to see things differently and I am still on this journey to see with open eyes to the heavenly realms.
I was living in fear of my future. I had so many bad things happen in my past that I could not believe that I had any good things to come. I was expecting only bad things to happen in my life and became accustomed to that. God does not want that for my life he wants me to believe in the verse Jerimiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I think many people (myself included) lose sight of the fact that God is in control and he will not forsake you just as it says in Deuteronomy 31:6; "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." He will NEVER forsake you even in the hardest times of your entire life he is there weeping when you are weeping and being your strength when you are to weak to be strong any longer. I know from experience that I would not be here if it were not for my amazing and faithful God. He is my strength and only strength. The past is in the past and he only has good things in store even if you lose sight of the truth it is never to late for him to restore!
