Your thoughts matter. Try to focus on thoughts of gratitude, optimism and faith. Because the quality of your life will never exceed the quality of your thoughts.
The way you live your life affects the people around you. When you choose joy, even in the midst of difficulty, you are an encouragement to someone else. Share your light and let His love shine through you.
Just because you don't hear or feel God, doesn't mean He isn’t with you. "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
You can trust your gut when (1) you're in a predictable environment, with (2) regular practice and (3) immediate feedback on your judgment.
If those conditions aren't met, don't trust your intuition. Test your intuition with data.
