It would be worthy of our time to monitor how much time is actually spent on problem-solving or confronting major issues that challenge our efforts to be successful. Problems surface periodically and catch us surprised and off-guard. Problems test our intelligence, our physical stamina, and our ability to cope emotionally.
The first major factor affecting problem-solving has to do with our perception of the problem. If problems are seen as undeserved, then anger, frustration, and resentment can overwhelm rational choices and produce regrettable behavior. No one is exempt, so each person chooses how to respond.
Problems demand decisions, so we either overcome problems or they overcome us. Romans 12:21 gives this advice: “Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good.” Whatever problems you may be facing at this moment, ask the Lord Jesus Christ for help and he will do it.
