Mark 13:31, Psalm 119:89
If you have a physical problem, it's just temporary, it's subject to change. But the truth that "By whose stripes ye were healed" (1 Peter 2:24) cannot change. It is the Word of God. It is settled forever (Psalm 119:89). Heaven and earth will pass away, but God's Word will not pass away (Mark 13:31). When you begin to perceive the word of God in that way, you're on your way to blessings unlimited. You will see the power of God manifest in your life.
Stop looking at thinks and saying negative things. Recognize that the circumstance is temporal (1 Corinthians 4:7-8)
Look at what God has already done in your life in Christ. Look at the Bible's positive examples. If all else fails, look at heaven, and think about how God is going to bless you for all eternity. Look not at the physical things but at the unseen things, the promises of God.
Find a promise in the Word of God that counters the negative circumstance you're in and dwell upon it. Focus on it. Remember that "as he [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).
What you focus your attention on is what you will be dominated by. If you look at natural truth alone, you may intellectually acknowledge the power of God, but if you aren't focusing on it, your problem is going to dominate you.
You can't focus your attention on something without it having an inroad into your life! If you aren't thinking on God's promises, it's impossible for you to operate in faith. You are going to be the way you think.

Harden Not Your Hearts: Hebrews 3:8,11; Mark 8:17, 6:52
The believer is admonished not to harden his heart. Sin is the symptom of a hardened heart and not the root cause. The root cause is when we do not perceive, understand, hear, see or remember or consider the miracles, signs and wonders performed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are therefore admonished to think and meditate on the miracles, signs and wonders done by Jesus Christ which cannot be compared to whatever challenge you may be facing. We need to turn to Jesus and give him our challenges and our cares as he's willing to carry the burdens. He said "Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest" [Matthew 11:28]. So don't wait any longer, give that problem to Jesus. HE is waiting to be gracious and to help you. Jesus is Lord.

My Vision or Dream for the Future
Why were you formed? Jer. 1:5 Before you were formed God knew you and ordained you to fulfil a particular mission on Earth.The discovery of the mission is called a dream or a vision. You are wired or programed to fulfil your particular mission on earth.
Jesus knew why He came. He knew what to do, He knew how to go about it, He knew when He finished it. We need to know and place appropriate value on our mission and vision on earth.
Before we go into dicovery of our mission on earth it is important to discover who we are. We are eagles (Exodus 19:4) brought out of the wilderness of sin by Lord Jesus Christ. Just as the Lord prophet brought out the Jews from Egypt and by a prophet they were preserved (Hosea 12:13), so we by a prophet (Jesus Christ - Deut. 18 v. 15 Acts 3.22 Acts 7.37 By a prophet (Jesus) are brought out from the world of sin (Egypt) into the promised family of God.
A man's gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men. We have been ordained and sent by Christ as eagles to bring others into the kingdom. (John 17:18-20) The question then is why did we come to this world? What are we to do? how to go about doing it and what criteria do we need to know when we have finished our mission on earth. In addition we are light-a city set on a hill THAT CANNOT BE HEED but we have a responsibility to let the light shine. Let the eagle i us soar. We are eagles by redemption.
2) As eagles how do we determine our mission on earth. For an aircraft to fly to a destination, it has to have a determined destination point. That is a vision or a dream. Without a vision or mission the vision is impossible. Where there is no vision, the eagle perish. The eagle in us and the control tower in heaven are waiting before we can be allowed to undertake the destination.
