PROBLEM SOLVING: KNOW YOUR SOURCE!

If God is your Father, through faith in Jesus Christ, then following the great miracle of you becoming an adopted child of God, you can trust Him to handle lesser things out of the same love He has for you!

GOD IS OMNIPOTENT: He is able to solve all of my problems (Eph. 3:20). Nothing is too hard for Him and no problem is too big (Gen. 18:14). Through Him I can do all things that He wills me to do (Phil. 4:13).

GOD IS OMNISCIENT: He knows all about my problem, and He knows its solution. Also, He knows how much I can bear (1 Cor. 10:13).

GOD IS WISE: He allowed this problem in my life because he knows what is best for me. He also knows the best solution (Jam. 1:5-7).

GOD IS OMNIPRESENT: As I face this problem He is with me, and He is in me (Gal. 2:20). He will never leave me nor forsake me (Heb. 13:5). He does not ask me to solve the problem by myself (Exodus 14:14). The Living God is my Helper (Heb. 13:5-6; Isa. 41:10; Mt. 28:20).

GOD IS IMMUTABLE (never changes): The same God that saved me (solved my biggest problem) is able to help me in whatever lesser problem I must face. The God that helped David, Daniel, Paul, etc., in their problems is the same God who is able to help me. I can always count on God being God (Heb. 13:8).

GOD IS SOVEREIGN: He's in complete control of the situation. He allowed this problem to come into my life and it needs to be left in His hands (Rom. 8:28; 1 Pet. 5:7).

GOD IS FAITHFUL: As I trust God for the solution to this problem He will not fail me. His promises cannot fail. I can count on God in this situation (2 Cor. 1:20). God is absolutely trustworthy, dependable and reliable.

GOD IS TRUE: I can claim the promises in God's Word because God does not and cannot lie (Titus 1:2)! What He says, that will He do (Rom. 4:21)!

GOD IS ETERNAL: As I view my problem in light of eternity, it becomes quite insignificant (Deut. 33:27).

GOD IS LOVE: God wants to reveal more of  Himself to me in this problem. There is no problem, no matter how great, that can separate me from His love (Rom. 8:35-39). He wants only His highest and best for me.

GOD IS GOOD: In the midst of my problem and difficulty, God wants to make me more like His Son (Rom. 8:28-29). No matter the difficulty, I can praise Him for His goodness (Psalm 107:8,15).

GOD IS RIGHTEOUS: In allowing this problem to come into my life, God did what was right (Gen. 18:25). God makes no mistakes!

GOD IS JUST: God is absolutely fair (Just, Righteous) in all that He does, including sending this problem my way (Deut. 32:4; Ps. 7:9; Isa. 45:21;  Dan. 9:14; etc.).


In the midst of pressures and problems, how conscious are you of the living God?
