overcome pessimism

hey y`all!
today was good. usual day. didnt do much. went to nanas & ate food, haha. but thats about it. not real interesting. God has answered a lot of my prayers lately. its great. his voice is just amazing to hear :]]
mk so my devotion was on overcomming pessimisim. pessimisim is something a lot of people struggle with but think, as Christians, do we really have a reason to be pessimistic? lets see what the bible says, Psalm 55:22 says, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall" as Christians we have every reason to be optimistic because Jesus died for us and we have eternal life! we need to trust our hopes instead of our fears and know that God can get us through absolutely anything! Mrs. Charles E. Cowman says "Neveryeild to gloomy anticipation. Place your hope and confindence in God. He has no record of failure" and then my devotion book also said something else really good: "If you genuinely believe that God is good and that His Son died for your sins, how can you be pessimistic about your future? The answer, of course, is that you can't!" which is totally true. when we have so much waiting for us in heaven and God has such a plan for us here on earth, what is there to be pessimistic about?!
i love y`all!
God Bless!
