Problems, Problems, Problems, I have them...anyone living problem free?

Nobody is problem-free. That I agree with. But we don't have to stay down. Pray and really trust and expect God to come through. If you have done all you can, just wait and see what God will do. But you must trust Him. And make sure you are watching for the blessing so that you don't miss it.

Heavenly Father, I am in agreement with this person for his/her finances. Bless this person, according to Your will and according to our faith put together. Bless this person to be able to pay their taxes and to be well provided for the rest of this year. Prove Yourself to this person and make Yourself known. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

I'm doing pretty well--definitely not problem-free. I agree with you that we all have problems.

As far as how I do it….well, I'm not sure how to answer that question. What I've done in my life may not help others. But I can share what little wisdom I have.

I think the first step is taking responsibility for your life. Do not rely on others to help you. Don't rely on your family, your friends, or your god. This doesn't mean that you can't get help from them. What I mean is that you should do everything as if you cannot rely on them at all. Then, when you get help, it is a good surprise. It also means that all that effort you put forth is multiplied by the effort of all those people.

Next, you may do well to accept that things will happen whether you like it or not. Perhaps having a family member killed while I was young taught me that you can't depend on life happening problem-free. I've had to deal with deaths, job loss, and interruptions to good health. Each time, I just pushed forward and accepted that there was nothing I could have done (except maybe the health part; see first point).

Each problem can be addressed individually. But, there's too much to write here. I'll say that for money, you can probably stand to curb your spending. This is true whether you spend $1000 a week or $10 a week. You can always tighten your purse strings. Don't rely on credit cards; they are a great scam. Make sure that the only interest you're paying is tax-deductible: mortgage, student loan, etc. Pay off those credit cards! Make sacrifices if you need to.

And on relationships, I say you should try to live as if you'll be alone. Many people are unhappy because they expect to have a soulmate. The truth is that not everyone has a soulmate. Or if there is such a thing, the odds of you meeting that soulmate are incredibly low. If you expect to be alone all your life, then when you do find someone that shares all your loves and joy, then it is a happy occasion

This is only a short bit of advice. I found that when I was able to shrug off many of my cares, then I didn't need them. It became very liberating, and I don't keep a balance on my credit card or worry about being alone.

And while some may suggest that you pray, you don't know if your prayer will do any good. It is also wasted effort that could be better spent on improving your life. I think God (or whatever) would prefer that you learn how to fix your own life than rely on him to do it for you.

Problems or difficulties in life are everywhere. Most people have or have had them.

It's all quite temporal, it will not last forever. Although it seems like it will at times. If I have money problems I look at where all money is going, how much I need to pay the bill's I make a budget. Then that problem becomes small. I'm sick, I do what I can to better my health, it is all I can personally do to better things. I have a good attitude about things. I change my thoughts, what we think eventually becomes what we are and how speak and act.

The most important and best thing I do is ask God to take care of it for me. I know I can't do but He can and then I have nothing to worry me.

Yes, overall I am doing better than very good.

Problem free....never heard of anyone like that...it would be a perfect life and I highly doubt anyone is leading a perfect life. I'm sure there are people who are leading satisfied lives but they are very few. As humans, we are designed in a way that no matter how much we have, we always want what the other person has and we give birth to problems ourselves by not being happy with what we have.

I am doing very well, thank you. I have health issues, relationship problems, and some of my family members have health issues. And I must admit that I could use some extra money. And as you said, anyone who says they don't have some kind of problem is in self denial. But do you know what....I'm happy. I say my prayers every morning, and every night and turn all my problems over to God. I even say short prayers through out the day. And God helps me thru each and every one of them. We all have problems, but allowed to, God will show you a way thru every one of them. God bless.

You are just living the life you choose. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. There are really no problems only solutions you just need to reconized them. Plant a seed and it will surley grow, to become a winner you must stop living beyond your means. Stop worrying about your problems don't the lillies and the grass grow. The Lord will take care of you if you ask.

I'm not living a problem free life, but I am doing well. The key is to not stress and work on improving the situation. Complaining won't get much accomplished.

You are right....just when you think things might start to coast a little, up pops a new challenge.

I believe that the hard times we go through serve two purposes...first, for God's purpose...His plan.

Secondly, don't you feel as though you are a stronger person now than you were when you were younger?? Our experiences help to humble us (turn to God) and in turn it makes us more wise for the next set of circumstances we face.

God is Awesome!

Its just a part of life to have problems.

Everyone has problems. All you can do is deal with them, an push on. Because there will always be a "New" problem tomorrow.

I have problems every day to face either in my own life, the lives of others or in my children's lives, but one thing that makes them all easy for me is taking them to the Lord and leaving them there.

"Casting all your care upon Him for He careth for you." This verse says "ALL" and it means all. Of course, God doesn't twist our arms behind our backs and force us to give them up but gives us the opportunity and then we must take it.

From that perspective I have been problem free for many years of my 33 years trusting God. It's a good way to live, and I highly recommend it to anyone who will take advantage of it.
