Happy New Year!

Good Morning Everybody!! Happy New Year!
It's been a long time since I've sent out my morning messages but I'm back and I'm going to try to stick to it. This mornings verse is "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 NIV).
Sometimes I have days where I feel really defeated. I don't feel good about anything. Everything seems to be going wrong in every area of my life. Before I began my relationship with God I felt like nobody understood what I was going through. (Sometimes i still feel like that) Even when I called my friends and sat on the phone crying and talking for hours, I would only receive a temporary relief. And don't get me wrong I still have moments when I call my best friend and vent but I soon realized can't nobody give what God gives me. How can I sit here and ask for advice from someone who hasn't defeated the problem for themselves? Cause guess what 10 minutes after you get off the phone you are going to sink right back into your problems. They only gave you temporary relief that everything would be alright. No I would rather talk to someone who has overcome the very obstacle that has me bound.
That's what God wants us to do. He wants us to have peace not be in turmoil over worldly situations. Let Him fight your battles. I know it may sound easier said than done but it's my prayer that we all become more dependent on God and less on man. I hope that everybody is has a great day 😘☺
