Have you ever felt terribly sad and desperate because of the tremendous problems and heavy burdens you carry in life? Do the situations surrounding you paint a bleak future, making you feel apathetic, unhappy, and uncertain? How much time and energy have you spent all day and night? wrestling with troubles yet failing to find the needed solution? Now, think about this, where in this world can you ever find lasting peace and happiness? Most probably you would give up the search for pure happiness and settle down with clever taunting remark that such a place still exists, in the mind at least. So, how do you go about your life that is continually peppered with adversities? The Bible teaches us how the children of God must view the problems we struggle with day by day. From the truth found in the Bible, all of us can learn how to deal correctly with frustrations and how to practice prudence in order to enjoy life somehow, with relative ease and contentment.

As we go through life, we can't avoid difficulties and trials. The best we can do is to have a positive outlook in life and think that everything will be okay. We have to do the best we can in whatever things we do. We should not let all the problems bring us down.

You are right! indeed, obedience and patient trust in God are important qualities that we children of God should possess so that He will not withhold to our supplications. We should never complain or become impatient and lose hope if our prayers are not immediately answered. As the Bible says... "When we suffer, we should sit alone in silent patience; we should still be hope....The Lord is merciful and will not reject us forever. He may bring us sorrow, but his love for us is sure and strong. He takes no pleasure in causing us grief or pain". Have a happy life mylotters!

Very true indeed. He doesn't give us problems that we cant handle. Sometimes, problems are there to strengthen our faith and trust in Him and so, we must not let these problems get in the way.

Hi there... I've been going through a lot of it lately. And there never seem to be an end to all that. I've prayed, and tried everything I could. Its the roughest patch of life and seems to have become endless. For the want of a little money, everything seems to fall apart.
I'm not weak, but reading your post suddenly clouded my mind with my own troubles. Hope, it'll all end sooner... Thanks a lot!

I had problem continually day by day, and I wish that I can find a better solution for it. I had fail to find the girl I ever love, and I fail on my business adventure with friends. And I also fail on finding a trustworthy friend all together. At the end, life just miserable for me now. I don't know what can I do to deal with it. And worst of all, I am not a fan of God.

All of us have something in our past that we regret doing, it may have been an honest mistake,a moral failure,or a foolish decision. We wish it had not happened, but it remains in our mind& often drags us down. But life does not have to be that way...While the past remains part of our lives, it does not have to determine our future. So better look ahead & prepare...than look back and be in despair. Instead of being discouraged over various troubles that abound in this world, the Lord advises His servants to be of good cheer and draw inspiration from HIM who overcame the world. Let us not forget to pray to God and ask Him to alleviate our sufferings and calm our hearts and minds and give us the strength we need to endure everything. And We should believe that God will also answer our prayers because of our strong faith in Him. We should draw near to God to receive God's blessings.

Now, Most of the problem which exist now were problems of the company where I was working. To be honest, the problem I'm dealing with is not necessary to be discussed or brought to this forum, because it's all about a company policy and facts. I am faced with people who complained about our room service, really entirely about work condition in my place. Problem at work sometime can be very annoying and disappointing to me. I can not easily to cease away thing that just happened, they crawl in my vein in which I could be mad and angry with myself. I'm used to having a lot problem here at my work place.

If you feel that it seems life is empty, everything seems senseless and nothing keeps going or when you feel abandoned, alone and afraid because of cycle of violence and devastation around you. You have pressing needs and inner longing but don't know what to do? When things like these happen, we need to pray and trust in its efficacy. From the point of view of faith, although, the "information superhighway" is getting wider and longer, bridging more people the world over and changing lives dramatically, it should not overwhelm us or adversely affect prayer, our very vital link to God. Given the extreme busyness, rapid progress, and complexities of life, we need to realize that there is no substitute for prayer. We should find time to pray, however busy or preoccupied we are. By praying we make our needs and requests known to God. God indeed is our "refuge and strength" and "a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1, NKJV). "BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, WITH THANKSGIVING, LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD."(Ps 4:6,NKJV)

Yes, I always feel that I have so many problems and burdens. You are right. Problems will never cease in this world. Worrying about them is a waste of energy. Too much thinking about the negative things would only make it difficult for me to enjoy life. I used to be a pessimistic person but I am trying now to become optimistic. The problems are the same, but I am happier now. I still believe that somewhere, there is a happy place on earth. Though there is no such thing as perfect life, but I believe we humans are capable of becoming happy despite of this. Prayers helped me go through my day by day problems.

There is no gainsaying the fact that both good things and bad things practically happen to all people-whether they are good or bad. and even among us both experience s of happiness and sadness interchangeably fill our life. We are not immune to such variety of exposures. Therefore, what we need to learn is how we ought to deal with both experiences with prudence and profound understanding. But, while other people would usually complain about their vicissitudes in life, we find ourselves able to cope with such uncertainties through the guiding words of Holy Scriptures. This is because we adopted quite a different way of looking at things and events that occur every step of the way. The Bible is our best and ultimate source of guidance and inspiration as how to deal with and respond to the various experiences we have in life.
