I Can't Figure Out this Problem and it's Only Getting Worse

​Hello everyone…I hope that your Wednesday is going well! As I sit here this morning, I am looking back on a lifetime of pain and deep heartache; but at the same time, I'm praising God that He has always been there for me…and will continue to be there, as I walk with Him, on what can be a very hard and difficult journey at times.
As I think back on my life, I remember one thing that I used to think on a lot, which is this…"What is really going on with my life and why does it only seem to worsen with time?" You see, when I was younger, I was dealing with a lot of knee problems, which led me to many surgeries, as an attempt to correct a problem that I was born with. 
Later, as I became a young adult, the surgeries continued and then I found myself experiencing a lot of loss in my life, including the loss of children…and to top it off, I had a sexual abuse of the past resurface, along with a dysfunction past, which I found myself dealing with. As each thing was stacked upon another, I just couldn't figure out what was happening to me, which made me feel left in the dark…in a world of my own.
Through time, I tried to figure everything out by myself…thinking that I would eventually figure out what was really taking place in my life; but rather than finding the answers I so desperately needed, I only found myself being dragged further into each problem, which only made me prey to Satan's desires.
Maybe you too are struggling through some very hard and difficult times in your life…and you just can't figure out why the problem won't go away. May I encourage you with a Bible verse that God has used to encourage my own heart with, and it's found in Proverbs 28:26, and we read… "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered." In other words, when we become too confident in our own ways; then this only leads to foolish decisions, which can open ourselves up even more to Satan…and this is what I painfully came to see about 30 years ago.
During times such as these, we must realize that we need a greater wisdom…one that knows exactly how to walk us out of these times…and One who already understands what is taking place in our lives…and the only One I know of, who can do all of this for us is Jesus. Don't you think that if we already had His kind of wisdom…that the problem wouldn't worsen with time; but rather, get better? This goes to show that the problems we face are too far above our heads to understand or even deal with, which only becomes a reminder to us even more; that we need One who is greater than the problem…One who can bring the problem to an end for good; but if we are in His way; then we are only delaying the work that can bring all these painful moments to a halt.
Another favorite Bible verse of mine that goes along with all that we have been talking about today is found in Exodus 14:14…and we read… "The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace." In other words, when we let Jesus fight for us; then we will quickly come to see that we won't even have to lift one finger; because His power and strength is all that is needed, to defeat the so-called power of evil and bring it to its knees.
As you are sitting here today…reading the words that God longs to encourage your heart with, can you say that you have been the one who has been trying to figure everything out, while the problem only continues to worsen with time? One thing I have truly learned throughout my life; is that figuring out a problem on our own, only leads us further into the problem, which is truly Satan's desire. The only way that I have found to survive times such as these; is to let go and allow God's perfect wisdom to devise a plan of escape for me…one that can remove me from the problem for good.
As we close our time together today, maybe you are overwhelmed by a problem that has only worsened with time. Just stop for a moment and ask yourself this question… "Am I too involved in this problem…to the place where I may have unknowingly pushed Jesus out?" If so, hope is not gone. Just let go of every thought and decision that you have attempted to make on your own and then turn to Jesus and ask Him for His help…and one thing I know for sure; He will come and figure everything out for you and bring you through the times that once seemed almost impossible for you to get through…Amen!
Have a very blessed day…and I hope that you will come back tomorrow and join me for another great visit with God!
It's Always & Only Because of Him…
