Staying positive through praise and gratitude allows one to stay afloat mentally and spiritually, avoiding being dragged down by negative thoughts. Focusing on God and praising Him with one's heart and words keeps one afloat, and God in turn will guide and empower one to make progress towards their goals through the Holy Spirit.

1. Staying Afloat Through Praise
Dwell on the positive, then negative thoughts won’t be able to sink
you. Being positive and praiseful will keep you afloat, whereas negative
thoughts are like weights that could drag you down to the bottom of
the ocean.
Today there may be distances that you wish to reach, but it won’t be
easy to get there from the bottom of the ocean. Determine to stay
afloat by keeping your eyes on Me, and praise in your heart and on your
lips. Then I will do My part: I’ll guide and move you forward with the
current of My Spirit, and My strength and power.
