Dealing with Problems

Can you recall the one moment in your life when you felt most proud of yourself?

Well, you can use your accomplishments to help yourself with problems that you have now. When trying to work through a problem, remember that you can accomplish anything that you really want to accomplish. Recall on your proudest moment to get through your problem!

Sarah Young’s daily devotional book Jesus Calling gives words of wisdom. Here is what Nov. 30’s devotion has to say:

“Problems are a part of life. They are inescapable: woven into the very fabric of this fallen world. You tend to go into problem-solving mode all too readily, acting as if you have the capacity to fix everything. This is a habitual response, so automatic that it bypasses your conscious thinking. Not only does this habit frustrate you, it also distances you from Me.

Do not let fixing things be your top priority. You are ever so limited in your capacity to correct all that is wrong in the world around you. Don’t weight yourself down with responsibilities that are not your own. Instead, make your relationship with Me your primary concern. Talk with Me about whatever is on your mind, seeking My perspective on the situation. Rather than trying to fix everything that comes to y our attention, ask Me to show you what is truly important. Remember that you are en route to heaven, and let your problems fade in the Light of eternity.

Psalm 32:8; Luke 10:41-42; Philippians 3:20-21”

While you are stressing and worrying over finals, tests, papers, etc., focus on God. Ask Him to guide you through your hard times. This way, you better your relationship with Him and you can release your worries onto Him. He loves you, always!
