\nNix the negative thoughts; visualize a solution to your troubles. Make it happen!<\/p>\n
\nRefuse to let your problems confuse or depress you. Remember that God is all-powerful and that you are his child. Repeat his promise: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).<\/p>\n
\nOften a problem contains the seeds of growth, of a great leap forward. Look for the “up side” of adversity.<\/p>\n
\nRepeat to yourself (and trust!) these great promises of the Bible:
\n– “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage<\/em>…” (Joshua 1:5-6).
\n– “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you<\/em>” (Isaiah 43:2).
\n– “The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble”<\/em> (Psalm 9:9).
\n– “The fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction<\/em>” (Proverbs 19:23).<\/p>\n
\nWhen we learn to release our problems into the hands of God, he brings about surprising solutions. He promises: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).<\/p>\n
\nWhen we trust God completely, our faith becomes an open channel for his power. Pray with the clear expectation that God will provide the best possible solution to your problem.<\/p>\n
\nAnalyze your difficulty as unemotionally as possible and look for the best way to handle it. Then move ahead. Sometimes you must step forward in faith before<\/em> the solution to your problem arrives.<\/p>\n
\nSuccess is primarily a spiritual process, the process of developing a mature personality through which you can accomplish your highest objective with the help of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
