Sometimes, I think I'm afraid to be happy. Like, I feel like if I'm too content, something is bound to go wrong, so I just don't want to let myself get too happy. I get scared. Anyone else ever feel this way? How do you overcome it?
YES! all the time. and as it's turned out to me, something has always gone wrong, but it's ok, because sometimes it's only little stuff that goes wrong and you still get the good fun stuff to go right!
Thats a hard question. I find myself feeling like that quite a bit. I think what helps me the most is to remember who we are. We are children of God, our purpose on this earth is to find lasting joy. God's purpose is to see to it that we accomplish that goal, and find true joy in our life. As amazing as we our others may be at destorying our own happiness, none of that is enough to thwart God's plans to see us be happy. That gives me the confidence to go forward, knowing that God is helping prepare ways to allow me to remain happy.
That at least how I make it through when I have thoughts like you mentioned.
