Fast Negative Thoughts And Emotions 
 
Romans 12:12,13
12Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always prayerful. 13 When God's children are in need, be the one to help them out. And get into the habit of inviting guests home for dinner or, if they need lodging, for the night.    

        Much of the agony we go through is because of the selfish nature of the beast, the beast of course being our human and sinful nature. We have a tendency to become filled with many unpleasant and negative emotions when things are not going our way. It is during those times of self pity that we become unavailable for use to God and our peers.  
        Paul gives us good godly advice on how to enjoy life during such unpleasant times. One: be glad for all that God is planning for you, (Live in expectancy of something good happening). Two: Be patient (trouble will pass). Three: always be prayerful (NEVER STOP COMMUNICATING WITH GOD). Four: Help your brother and sister with their needs, (there is no better way to get your mind off of yourself than to find a way to help someone else.) Five: Be hospitable (you will be encouraged and set free from your self-pity when you spend your time finding ways to encourage others.)  

Today fast any and all negative thoughts or emotions that try to invade your life and Live for God in expectancy of something good happening, be patient during troubling times and always be charitable toward others then you will be free to really enjoy life.

God, help me to be positive no matter the circumstance. Through You there is always hope and a reason for joy.
