There will always be trouble in this life. I said, "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." Understand that simply because you live in a fallen world, there will always be trouble. This is why I exhorted My disciples and all who believe in Me to not let their heart be troubled. Trouble can only affect you if you allow it to.
Immediately after I urged My disciples to not let their hearts be troubled, I drew their attention to what awaited them. I told them that I was going to prepare a place for them and where I was they also would be. I said that in My Father's house there are many mansions.
On that day when I shared these words with My followers, I gave the one of the secrets to enjoying life no matter what the circumstances are. Whenever trouble comes, draw your attention away from the trouble and focus on Me. Set your affections of things that are above, not on things that are on this earth. When you do this, you can be of good cheer no matter what happens to you.
