If you continually think, talk, and bemoan the negative things in your life, the easier it is for Satan to tempt you and convince you that things other than God are what you need to make you happy. When you think of God's blessings, you will put your trust in Him and all the joy you need will come from Him..."Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:4-8

The more I trust God, the more obedient I will be. My level of obedience reveals my level of trust. I must obey first and trust God for the outcome.
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." Psalm 36:4-6
