Facing Problems With God

God is always with me.  I need never face my problems alone.  Together, with God, any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.

When we face difficulties and problems, we often ask ourselves some questions: Does God care?  Does God care about me? Does God care about my situation today?  It’s very easy to get blinded by the pressure of problems and to fail to see the help and blessing that God is offering us.  

Sometimes we respond to problems by complaining and believing the lie that we have been rejected and abandoned by God and others and now we must “figure things out on our own.”  We blame God and others for not helping us when life is not the way we desire it to be.  In challenging moments it’s important to remember that God is always with us and not let the emotions of the moment cloud that truth.

With God’s help, we are responsible to faithfully work on problems until they are resolved.  If invited, God will be with us and will give us wisdom to know how to handle each problem.  God may also bring a knowledgeable person alongside to help us.  

So don’t get tired of doing what is good.  Don’t get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time ... For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need. (Galatians 6:9, Philippians 4:13, NLT)

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank you for your promise to never leave me alone.  When I face problems, help me to trust You and allow You to show me the way forward. I want to seek Your solutions and not try to force my own. Your ways are always better than mine.  Amen
