Many people have problems. Everyone has had or will have problems in their lives. There are many ways that people can respond to these problems.
God does not want us to use OUR problems as excuses to not Worship him. We were created on earth in the first place to worship HIM! That is why we were created. That's all we are gonna be doing in heaven. Somtimes, God let's hard times happen to us so that we can grow, and it is a testing time to see how devoted, and how strong our love for him is.
It is really easy to just put God to the side, and make our problems almost like the gods in our lives. We think about them constantly, we try to fix them with medication and treatments... when we should be really going to the one who creating EVERYTHING! He is the one who can cure all illnesses and right all wrongs. When we start to think about our problems more than we do God, we begin to make them the gods in our lives. Worship.. what is worship? Worship is more than singing praise songs, it is giving time to a thing, thinking about that thing. If you are thinking about a problem more than you are about God, then you are worshiping that problem. I would rather spend my time focusing on God (worshiping him), who can cure the problem, than on the problem(worshiping the problem) Which is just obviously a waste of time.
Taking our problems out of our minds and placing them in God's hands will keep our focus on him (where it should be) and may make the load a little less heavy.

PK owns you John
James 1:2-4:
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
1st Peter 1:6-7:
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
take it to heart peeps
