Peter started walking on the water towards Jesus,but then he "looked at the waves and began to sink."I have this problem too. Like, I can go to you tube and listen to upbeat Gospel music,and for the moment I'll feel like all my problems melt away. But then, as I get closer to the time I have to confront the problem, or right there,then, the reality of the fact that the problem exists,and hasn't been solved yet, brings me back down to Earth.There's a difference between having a good attitude about a problem,and the problem being solved.10 out of 10 times I would rather the problem be solved than just be "happy go lucky" about the fact that it's happening. {And it's not just a Christian thing, there are plenty of people out in the world who picked up this train of though, that pretend to be "happy "during a problematic situation.But to a realist like me,it would seem that you you're denying what you see, hear and experience all around you to deny what the problem the current situation is causing.Also, it's easy for someone not in your situation to judge you on your reaction to something.But we all have different temperaments.So the question, how can someone facing "problems", and especially over a period of time, and new ones popping up, be "happy" about it, WHILE STILL NOT DENYING THE REALITY OF THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS?To some, being an "ostrich" comes easy. But me, I'm too much of a realist, so I would be a phony if I "pretended" I was content with a troublesome situation.So can you be a realist{"in the world you will have tribulation"}yet be happy about having a certain problem,without actually being a masochist?I find it hard.Because especially if circumstances have been working against you for most of your life,without being a masochist, I can't see how....

Sometimes we need to ask Jesus to give us eyes to see and ears to hear and a willingness to do. The answers you are looking for are in my post following...
Praying with and for you in Jesus.
We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...
There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!
Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.
Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.
I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.
Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!
Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.
Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.
Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.
Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.
Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.
Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.

2 Corinthians 5:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Heaven and spiritual blessings are/should be more real to us believers that what we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. What is our faith based on? We can say, "I will believe when I see", which is the way of the world. Or, we can say "I believe in what the Bible says, what the Word says, and then I will see".
Matthew 21:21-24 King James Version (KJV)
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Our main problem is in trusting in the Lord.
Just like Peter walking on the water, Peter began to sink when he looked at the worldly reality of the seas and the wind being so great, instead of keeping his eyes on Jesus, the reality we should be walking in. When Peter stopped trusting, he began to sink.
