feel alone when Jesus said he is always with me and he will never abandon me (Matt 28: 20, Heb 13: 5)?
Why should I feel accursed or think that I am a victim of bad luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law so that I might receive His Spirit (Gal 3: 13, 14)?

Why have a persecution complex knowing that nobody can be against me because God is with me (Rom 8: 31)?
Why be confused when God is the author of peace and it gives me knowledge through His Spirit who dwells in me (1 Cor 14: 33, 2: 12)?
Why not see my failure when I am more than conqueror in all things through Christ (Rom 8: 37)?
Why leave all the pressures of life get me down when I can be encouraged by the victory of Jesus over the world and its tribulations (John 16: 33)?
