Sadness

"How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?"

Psalms 13: 2

When one goes to the point of recognising his resistance to God's voice, it's already a sign of humbleness. Nevertheless, this alone is not enough. There must be an attitude of seeking God with all his heart, understanding, and strength.

Rule

"He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city."

Proverbs 16: 32

He who resists temptations fights an interior war. As he rules his fleshly desires to please his Lord, he's more honored than war soldiers.

Fight

"But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings..."

Hebrews 10:32

Problems we face today, though may be difficult, bring experiences for a better future. From faith to faith, God keeps moulding and improving you every day, making you into an overcomer. Never give up or complain about your fights. On the contrary, remember the faith, how much of a treasure it is, given to the chosen ones -- and one of them.

Humbleness

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5: 3

Humbleness of spirit deals with submission, servitude, and practice of the will of God. The Kingdom of God is made of people whose character is as such.

Visualize faith

" Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” Matthew 9:2

Jesus SAW the faith of those men. How does one see faith? Through attitudes, behavior, action, obedience to an assurance within... In other words, it has nothing to do with feelings or anything of the sort. When there's true faith, there are practical results.

Fruits

"You will know them by their fruits."

Matthew 7.16

You know the tree by its fruits. But the foolish one doesn't wait on time to see the fruits, decides regardless of them. The result is old plain frustration.

Oh...

“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!" 

Psalm 81.13


When the Lord exclaims: 'Oh, that My people would listen to Me...'You can see His great desire to attend to His people's urgent needs. Isn't that the same feeling parents have regarding their children?

One needs to hear and obey His Word.
