What To Do when Trouble Comes

Ephesians 6:10, “Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.”
We all have had to face problems and troubles in our lives. Many times there was someone who has offered comfort with some warm words or an encouraging pat on the back. “You are going to be ok.” “Be strong.” “Things aren’t as bad as you think.” This counsel is well meant but most often is not very helpful. If you could make yourself “be strong” you would not need encouragement to begin with. The problem you are struggling with is real to you. Paul writing to the Ephesians is giving them more than just a pat on the back or a word of comfort. He is reminding them and us where all true and everlasting strength comes from. Power and strength comes from Jesus Christ. When we take our eyes off Him we are weak. Paul is saying don’t look at your problems look at Jesus. Maybe you don’t have the strength to tackle the problems or challenges that are staring you down, but God does. There is nothing to hard for God.
We should stop relying on our own strength, our own efforts, and our own wisdom; instead, we should look to the wisdom of God’s Word and the strength of God’s Spirit to direct our daily lives. When we place our trust in Him we are energized by His power. When we confess our weakness and our helplessness to him something great happens. God’s love and grace is sent to care for us. God is stronger then we so we need to cast our burdens on Him. Psalms 55:22, “Cast thy burdens upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
Put on the whole amour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Only God can give you the power you need in order to successfully battle with sin, with sickness, with selfishness, and with Satan. He can and does give that power to those who turn to him and rely on him.
You have a tough decision to make ask God for guidance. Need to work through a difficult problem, put it in God’s hands and let Him deal with it. You can’t see the future but God can. You need help ask God for it. Take His hand and let Him guide you.
Or you can continue alone. It is your choice.
