I've been struggling with a lot of doubt and discouragement lately. It
happens to everyone at times and sometimes we respond the wrong way.
Here's a quick tip for hitting your problems head-on with its
solution. Ready? It's very simple: define your problem in a word or 2
("doubt" or "ruined plans"), then grab an attribute of God to meet
that problem. Instead of spending your prayer time whining to God
about your problems, spend it rejoicing with God for victory.
Here are some examples of how you can pair up your problems with God's
solutions:
DOUBT, meet 2 Corinthians 1:20.
"For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the
glory of God through us."
UNFAITHFULNESS, meet 2 Timothy 2:13.
"If we are faithless, He remains faithful. He cannot deny Himself."
WORRY, meet John 6:25-34.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
its own things..."
UNKNOWN FUTURE, meet Revelation 1:8.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the
Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
TEMPTATION, meet 1 Corinthians 10:13.
"...God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what
you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of
escape, that you may be ble to bear it."
SUFFERING/PERSECUTION, meet 1 Peter 4:12-13.
"Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is
to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice
to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His
glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy."
What are your problem/solution pairs? Reply to this blog so others can
share in the victory you've found through God's faithfulness.
We are more than conquerors through Christ (Romans 8:37), so don't let
your problems conquer you, you conquer them!
