Our problem is not The Problem, but our problem is not seeing God as GOD when facing problems.
We become anxious, self-conscious, self-pitying, defeated, restless, being a push-over, a people-pleaser, compromise our standards and values, give up, feel hopeless, weak, etc when we lose sight of who GOD is in our lives.
It is not that He is not present with us through the storms of life but we have allowed problems to be our focus and take over our lives and hence our joy, instead of laying down all our cares and problems under the feet of Jesus and looking at Him bigger than our problem.
We shall overcome and be given the strength and wisdom when we put God in the right perspective, not allowing fear and anxiety to take over the place of God.
It's time to recognise GOD as "I am the Lord your GOD, you shall not fear other gods...(Judges 6:10)
My husband would tell me when I start to share my concerns with him, "Don't let anyone take over your life and take your joy from you. Take control of your life (and let God takes control of what that is not under our control) but we can control our feelings right now."
So our problem will not be a problem anymore when we let GOD be GOD; fear has no grip on us when GOD takes His rightful place in our hearts and minds. Let nothing take the place of God and we'll have our joy, peace and hope securely in us.
