3 Keys To Overcoming Problems
Copyright 2005 Kathryn Williamson

Are you stuck in a rut? Do you seem to have the same
problems popping up time after time? What will it take to
finally get you over your problems and into the abundant
life? Here are three biblical principles to help you get
out of whatever personal problems you’re going through and
on the road to achieving the life of your dreams.

Have you noticed that almost all of our problems stem from
relationships? Either someone has hurt us or we lack
relationships in our life, especially healthy ones.
Sometimes other symptoms develop as a result of our hurt or
isolation; such as addictions, depression, bitterness,
anger, and loneliness. Then we get sidetracked working to
resolve these symptoms instead of realizing there is a
deeper underlying cause - that of unhealthy relationships.

It has been discovered that when a person works on living
their life according to God’s overall instructions, their
problems get resolved as a by-product. So, when we work on
having the following three key principles active in our
life, then almost all of our problems get resolved.

The first principle is: when you develop a strong, deep
relationship with God, then you will know how to build
loving relationships with others. It is only through our
relationship with God that our deepest desire for
unconditional love gets fulfilled. No other person can
fulfill this need except God. Since God is love, He has the
greatest capacity to provide us the love we so desperately
search for.

Since God never leaves us, we can stand firm in our
relationship with Him. During our lifetime we will never
fully uncover the depth of God’s love toward us. So we have
a lifelong pursuit in this love relationship. How close we
get to God is up to us!

Once we experience God’s love revealed to us, then we can
properly love others. We can quit expecting others to meet
our deep need for love because we now receive that from
God. Through our understanding of how God treats us (or
doesn’t treat us) we learn how to properly interact with
others.

The second key principle is: to overcome our problems we
must take 100% responsibility for our own life. We must
stop blaming others and making excuses for the way we act.
Once we realize that we have a choice on how to act and
react to situations, we gain control over the quality of
our life. In order to move on in life and let go of our
focus on our problems, we must learn how to act and react
in a different manner.

Many of our reactions to hurtful people are changed after
God shows us His unconditional love. We realize that
because God loves us even with all our mistakes, then we
can learn to love others in the same way. God asks us to
make the effort and He will provide His love through us to
others. Now we’re on our way to developing healthy, godly
relationships.

Taking control of your life also means you must plan for
your future, and that is where the next principle helps you.

The third key principle is: when you find God’s unique
purpose for your life, you have the motivation to keep you
headed in the right direction and you discover the abundant
life. God’s plan usually entails taking whatever you are
passionate about and putting it into a life-long project
whereby you use it to love and serve others.

God created man to have an intimate relationship with Him,
then to love others, and then to carry out the specific
purpose he designed us for. While there are general
guidelines on how God wants us to live and act, God also
gives each of us a very personal goal for us to carry out.
Since this vision includes loving and serving others, it is
important that we have the first two key principles in
place to enable us to adequately carry out God’s plan. With
a proper understanding of God, His love and His plan, then
we will be able to handle trials that come while serving
the Lord.

When you focus on implementing these three key biblical
principles instead of dissecting every individual problem,
you will get better results. Now that you know three areas
to work on, get a pen and paper and begin to determine what
these items will require of you in your daily living.
