Put this into practice:
I may have many problems in my life.
But lips do not know them.
They always Smile :-)
Have a SMILEY day!
Let us rest in the Divine Heart like little children in the arms of their father. The greater our confidence, the more will God's goodness be seen in us.

I hope this message ministers to your heart to think highly of God no matter what problems, trials, heartaches or tribulations are in your path. Let God know that your confidence is in Him and not on the negative situation that is presently before you. God is able to help you if you allow Him into your life and simply ask.
Master of Solutions…
“There are no problems, only solutions.”
Without a doubt, this has been the most difficult few years of my life. A small crisis within our home has pierced our otherwise comfortable existence, and yet, even in the turmoil, light has overcome darkness.
During the onset of our struggle I was angry, frustrated and felt overwhelmed. “Why us, God? Why us?” I would ask, and although my answer did not come as immediately as I would have preferred, the Lord did reply later by showing me truth. This truth was the knowledge that there is no such thing as earthly perfection, and each and every human being will face adversity at some time in their life. However, God is greater than any problem.
Whether it is sickness, disease, relationship struggles or some other hardship, our life journey will never be perfect because perfection is only found in the Divine. Along with the beauty of laughs and smiles will be the sting of painful tears, disappointments and shattered dreams. Relationships may fail and jobs may fall through, yet will we allow these bumps along the path to alter our ability to possess peace and joy?
The answer, my dear friends, is no!
How we perceive crisis when it occurs can either make or break our peace of mind as well as affect the outcome of the situation. As the above quote conveys, nothing is really a problem because there will always be solutions.
The greatest lesson I have learned this year is a phrase adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous; “Let go, and let God.” The most successful solution to any problem we may face, no matter how large or small, is to trust in God.
As we act to resolve problems, we should never go at it alone, but to lay the issue in the hands of the Lord; knowing that where our earthly abilities may be limited, He alone is able to do all things! While man may tell us a situation is hopeless, with God there is always hope!
And so, after doing everything possible to resolve my family's personal crisis on my own, I remembered my faith in God, and began to cleave to the Lord in a way that I had never before surrendered in trust. Daily I pray about the matter, and then I hand the matter over to God, knowing that I have done my part, and now it is time for Him to take over.
As hard a period as this has emotionally been, it has ironically also been the richest in wisdom. No longer do I feel overwhelmed by the problem, because I now know that all the worry in the world will not help resolve the matter, and in fact, will only add to my own emotional distress.
Today, I encourage you to hand any problems you may be facing over to the capable arms of the Lord. Feel the peace and freedom which follows the leap of faith, and know that God is the Master of miraculous solutions.

Rejoice in God’s Message of Love for you today:
“Now know I that the LORD saves His anointed; He will hear him from His Holy Heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.” --Psalm 20:6-9
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” -- Philippians 1:6
PRAISE GOD
BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
