The bible has the offensive or active way of dealing against this issues of life. This is the only sure answer and help all people should know in order not to be one of the victims of this monstrous sickness of the mind that affects negatively the totality of a person. The Bible or the Word of God is the complete and final authority for men when we talk about life. For knowledge opens the windows of wisdom that brings wealth, health and life to man. The Apostle Paul says in II Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Ignorance leads to a down fall of every kingdom or country and it is also the reason why many people are not enjoying the precious and helpful resources stored by God in their minds but rather became the victim of fear that disabled them to become creative and to contribute to increase the wealth or resources for oneself, family, immediate community and society as a whole. Because of ignorance or lack of knowledge, many people are now dependents, weak and sickly that need help of their own family, Church, and State. In the book of Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Do not be anxious in anything but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your minds in Christ Jesus." Apostle Paul has taught the believers in Philippians that daily cares are part of life and they should not be helpless and seemingly passive in dealing with these issues in life but rather, he commanded them not to worry or to be afraid but to to come to God in prayer. Everything - money, health, wisdom in decision making, strength to face hardships in life and others that cause them heaviness and burdens should all be brought to God in prayer. Why? Because they are children of God and as children, God is so concerned to the needs of his children. If the birds in the air or in the fields are not sowing or reaping yet your heavenly Father feeds them, how much more you men whom God created in his image, will not give even the very staple on your table? You are much more important the birds. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Matthew 6:26-27. And if you fathers though are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how more will your Father in heaven give good gifts also to those who ask him! Matthew 7:9-11 God will give us peace that transcends all our understanding means that he will give us wisdom and strength on how to deal with the many issues in life. Remember that God has created us in his image Genesis 1:27. All the resources that we need are all placed in us - life, wisdom, strength, complete parts of the body, and many more. Our mind is full of wisdom that can create something beautiful and beneficial for you, your family and others for God's glory. God has created you wonderfully and perfectly Psalm 139:13-14, that's why you can not say to yourself that you are weak, unable to do anything but rather, accept and affirmed yourself as special, somebody and very able to stand, to create, and very important in this world. We can do everything good through Christ who strengthens us. Philippians 4:13. If there are issues or problems in life, there are always 101% ways to solve these especially when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior John 3:16; John 1:12. If God is with you who can stand against you Romans 8:31. Open your eyes and tell yourself that the creator of this universe, the Savior of men and the great Provider of your needs, the God the Father, the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit are working with you and for you. Why you will lose your hope and the ability to create beneficial and helpful things for everybody. Don't limit yourself to hope and to do great things for God has stored and placed in you the complete resources in this life. Be thankful always cause you and I are with the side of the Triumphant God.
