We all want to be happy (and the core of that is peace; rest), and that has been the Plan of God for us from the beginning. Here are some tips that can help you achieve that!

1. Ask the LORD to help you know and believe His Love. It all comes down to trusting the LORD; that, no matter what, He is the perfect Father (once we are born again by believing in the shed blood of Jesus, His Son, to cleanse us from our sins, and help us walk with Him on earth, and save--preserve--us for Heaven, of course!), and He is always guiding and watching over us. He is forever working all things together for the best of us who love Him and are the called (and every true Believer is called to follow Him and display His goodness to others!), as proved in the Word in Genesis 50:20 and Romans 8:28, just to name a couple!

He did not give us fear, and He doesn't use it. He guides us by His Word and His Spirit. So fear doesn't tell us what to do, nor how to think, amen! 

Jesus, the spotless, sinless, eternal, living, unchanging Word of God. Hallelujah!

1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was present originally with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.  In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. 5 And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].--John 1:1-15, AMPC

God's perfect Love gets rid of fear, when we choose the Word over it. Amen!

There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].--I John 4:18, AMPC

God is Love (I John 4:8), and fear is the opposite of faith. When we trust God, that is faith in action; faith in the goodness of God.

If God wasn't good, we'd all have been dead and in hell a long time ago!

2. Honor your spiritual leaders, and others who bring the Word of God, and imitate them as they align with the Word.

Remember your leaders and superiors in authority [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively and consider their manner of living (the outcome of their well-spent lives) and imitate their faith (their conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ, and their leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness).--Hebrews 13:7, AMPC

3. Be thankful. It has been proven by many experts that therer are a lot of people in insane asylums--because they are ungrateful!  Wow--we can bless the LORD, ourselves, and others, just by choosing to be thankful! 

The LORD commands us to be thankful--not just for His honor, but to help us keep our minds on Him and His goodness--and to keep the devil at bay! It was the enemy who was unthankful that, even though he was one of the most powerful and beautiful angels in Heaven, he rebelled against God (the Most High; the LORD of Heaven and earth, Who created him as good); the enemy was unthankful.

Be thankful! There are always many things to be thankful about! 

I'm so thankful for all the good things about my childhood--and that my parents taught me to say thank you, and to write thank you notes! I've written such notes as an adult--to the delighted surprise of some people, who've said they've never received a thankyou note; many of those have become good friends! 

That started a few decades ago, and a handwritten thank-you is even more rare now, so go for it! 

While I wrote thank-you notes, I also was very judgmental and critical and negative otherwise--too many times through the years--and have repented, and learned wisdom: to stop judging and criticizing and junk, for none of that is from God! 

Once I started pouring the cleansing, healing Word of God into my soul, and learning to be thankful to Him for His mercy, faithfulness, grace, generosity, unending, unchanging Love and more; and being thankful for and to the good in others, my life started becoming much more positive. I was much happier.

My husband (for whom I am very thankful, although it was not always so! I've had to learn to recognize and reject disapointment about others--him, spiritual leaders, parents, children, supervisors, myself, etc.--and give it to the LORD, and trust in Him alone (Psalm 25)), and I now write very often in our "thanksgiving journals". It's amazing the things we have to be thankful for--especially, as I often state during the week--compared to the rest of the world, and even this nation, that's been in such chaos! (But we are thankful that the LORD is undoing knotty problems, and working good out of evil; turning darkness into light, as He always will when we partner with Him in prayer, worship, and the Word! Amen!)

The LORD, our dear, all-knowing Heavenly Father (once we have received Jesus Christ, His Son, as our Savior and LORD, of course! John 3:15-17), commands us to be thankful!

One place He commands it is in Psalm 100, believed to be written by King David: 

A Psalm of thanksgiving and for the thank offering.

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! 3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name! 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations. -- Psalm 100:1-5, AMPC

It is, of course, for our good, and also for the good of others. It is a form of praise, and the LORD inhabits our praise!

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.--Psalm 22:3, AMPC

Speaking of being thankful, here is a blessing I just received from a minister I greatly admire and follow:

Through books, courses, presentations, service, prayer, worship, and more, Tonja and her husband live to exalt God. Her series for girls, P.O.W.E.R. GIRL ADVENTURES, is now out (books I-V), along with LEGACY; YOUR HOLY HEALTH: VISIONS OF THE KING, and more. See the "River Rain Creative" YT channel.
