As I have been preaching and ministering, I have noticed that so many people struggle with five different issues in life. It doesn’t matter if we’re married or single, young or old, rich or poor, or if you we’re a Christian or not! We all go through these struggles sometime in our life. One difference between Christians and non-Christians is that non-Christians only have the world’s principles and people to help them.

Five major struggles we all face

As I have been preaching and ministering, I have noticed that so many people struggle with five different issues in life. It doesn’t matter if we’re married or single, young or old, rich or poor, or if you we’re a Christian or not! We all go through these struggles sometime in our life. One difference between Christians and non-Christians is that non-Christians only have the world’s principles and people to help them.
Christians have the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior to help us! We are in the Kingdom of God which is full of hope, strength, encouragement, truth and the Holy Spirit to lead and guide! Truth is something you can stake your life on. Truly, the only thing I would ever stake my life on is my manual for success, THE BIBLE!
Here are the five issues I see people dealing with. I’m going to give a prescription for each:

1. Loneliness which brings fear along with it.
Prescription: The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

2. Danger is all around us because we live in this world.

Prescription: I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. Psalm 91:2-3
 
3. Worry brings with it anxiety and NO PEACE.
Prescription: …seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:33-34

4. Crises come to us all at one time or another and we need someone available 24/7 to help us.
Prescription: My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Psalm 121:2-3
 
5. Discouragement or disappointment makes our emotions go up and down and is usually caused by people!
Prescription: Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance. Psalm 42:5

The Bible is full of spiritual prescriptions for every issue we could face. If we take our spiritual prescriptions (His promises) daily, we will be Victorious in every situation. Remember, Victor or Victim – it’s a choice we make!
