When what seems an especially difficult problem or a great emergency presents itself, many students of the Truth start by thinking, “This is very serious,” and then proceed to brace themselves mentally for a supreme effort; and plan to pray exceedingly “hard” in order to meet the difficulty.
All this is quite wrong. It simply builds up the problem into something far bigger that it was originally. The right attitude, the one that brings Victory, is to think “God can and will solve this problem.”
Instead of speaking the Word from the low altitude of fear and limitation, and trusting to effort to magnify the Lord, stop thinking of the problem altogether, and rise in consciousness. Having now attained a higher level – speak the Word gently from that level, and your problem will be solved.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful … (Hebrews 4:12).
The real question is “do we really believe God can and will solve this problem for our best good?” A flood of other questions may reveal our true feelings and/or can obscure the truth about God solving our problems and turning them to blessings. Questions like; “But how can this awful mess turn out well,” or “how can this be good when I don’t want it to happen,” or “I messed this up so bad, how can it possibly turn out for my best good”. These type questions are rational, but they belie a lack of faith in God’s promise.
The better questions to ask are ones like, “how would I feel if I knew this was going to be for my best good,” or “Where is the blessing hidden in this pain,” or even, “What lesson am I supposed to learn from this to become better.”. Such questions as these assume God’s best good and anticipate the benefits flowing from our current problem or challenge. It is when we know that God has our best interest at heart that we can say quietly and confidently that “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”
