When the going gets rough

Vision is the ability to see God's presence, to perceive God's power, to focus on God's plan in spite of the obstacles.

When we have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic. Your attitude stays positive rather than negative. Not foolishly positive, as though in fantasy, for you are reading God into circumstances, So when a situation comes that cuts your feet out from under you, you don't throw up your arms and panic. You don't give up, Instead, you say "Lord, this is Your moment. This is where You take charge. Your on this."

This is nothing more than having a strong belief in power of the God; having confidence in others around you who are in similar battles with you and, yes, having confidence in yourself, by the grace of God. Refusing it to give in to the temptation, cynicism and doubt. It's hanging tough when going gets rough.
