When playing sports like baseball, basketball, soccer and golf you have to keep your eyes on the ball at all times or else you may end up losing the game.  The same holds true for life.  We must always keep our eyes and heart focused on God..  By focusing our attention more on God and less on our problems, we can be happier and less depressed.  If we focus too much on our problems, we will become depressed and sad.  We will lose our will to live and go on from day to day.

But we should turn our attention toward God and away from ourselves.  In so doing, our will to live and go on from day to day.  But we should turn our attention toward God and away from ourselves.  In doing so, our problems will seem less overpowering and more manageable.  We must rely on God to help us make it through each day.  For only with God’s help can we continue to live from day to day.  So remember to keep your focus on God.  Think of all the ways He has blessed you throughout the years.  Thank Him for all He has done for you.  Continue to be faithful to Him and He will continue to bless you all your life.  He will never forsake you as long as you never forsake Him because of His great love for you and me.

“Praise the Lord, oh my soul.  Praise the Lord.”

Heb. 12:1-2 – Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,  looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of (our) faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
