God Wants Your Problems
Let your difficulties be opportunities for God’s control.
Just about every problem you worry about is outside your control, which gives you the perfect opportunity to give your problems to God.
Do you have a health issue you’re dealing with, and there’s nothing the doctors can do? Give your health to God. Do you lack confidence for that upcoming test, even though you’ve studied all you can? Give your test to God. Is your boss making life miserable for you despite your best efforts? Give your job to God.
At their worst, problems cause us to worry. At their best, problems test our faith. Do we trust God enough to let Him control everything in our lives? Are we willing to give Him our big problems as well as the small stuff? He’s willing to take control of our difficulties if we just let Him.
But God will use this persecution to show his justice.
2 Thessalonians 1:5
Im sorry but what excatly does it mean, give your problems to GOD?
What this means is that we can trust God to work in our lives, not to “fix” our problems, but to help us deal with them. Several verses from the Bible come to mind. The first one is from Jesus:
“So don’t worry about having enough food or drink or clothing. Why be like the pagans who are so deeply concerned about these things? Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern” (Matthew 6:31-33).
The next passage is from the apostle Paul:
“But remember that the trials that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the trial from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it. When you experience trials, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Finally, here is a verse from the apostle Peter:
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you” (1 Peter 5:7).
The way you give your problems to God is to pray about them, and then trust God to show you a way to deal with them. The answers don’t always come when we want, but they do come in God’s good time!
