       One way we display our positivity in life is by living through the mindset of ‘faith’ instead of ‘fear.’ Really, these are the opposites of each other. In Matthew chapter 9, when the woman with a discharge of blood for 12 years went to Jesus, he told her that it was actually her ‘faith’ that made her well—that allowed her to become healed. It wasn’t that she just went to Jesus and was healed, but she had to have faith that he could in fact make her well. In the same way, we need to have faith in Jesus that he will make us well—that he will restore our minds. The Apostle Paul stated, ““For in it [the Gospel] the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17, ESV). We need to use ‘faith’ and not be living with a negative, unbelieving mind. If you don’t ‘feel’ something is going to work out, that is when you use your faith. Think of faith like a bottle of medicine. We don’t feel good, so we take a tablet to help us feel better. Faith is the same way.
