There’s always going to be things happening in this world that make you sad, mad or feeling bad; however, we all know that the Word of God teaches us to filter the troubles of this world as well as the troubles in our own home in light of God’s Word.

Jesus said:

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33

Here are seven ways to overcome troubled times.

1.     Don’t RSVP The Pity Party

There’s one party. . .no one ever wants to attend or even be invited to. . .it’s a pity party.

10. What someone else “thinks”…will do nothing to change your circumstances…but God can.

  9. If you get mentally drained…you have unlimited access to the greatest energy drink ever…the Holy Spirit. Proverbs 3:21 TLB

One of my favorite signs says:

“Good morning!  I’ll be handling all your problems today.  So relax and enjoy your day.  Blessings, God. P.S. I love you.”

Someone once said:

“Do not face the day, until you have faced God in prayer.”

When you woke up this morning. . .did you expect this to be your best day ever?

What was your expectation for the day?  Was it different than yesterday or the day before?

Did you have any expectation for today or were you just glad you made it through another night?

Do you expect to feel better today than you did yesterday?  And, just as importantly, do you expect to feel even better tomorrow?

Do you expect God to move in the lives of your loved ones?

Do you see your days filled with previously unknown opportunities where you can tap into previously unused potential?

Do you expect to make divine appointments or supernatural connections?

10. Exercise for today. Focus on right things and you will find the wrong things will leave your life.

  9. Albert Einstein, known as one of the smartest men to ever live, was called “mentally slow” by a teacher. Only pay attention to what the Word of God says about you.

  8. You are where you are today because of what you learned yesterday. Where you will be tomorrow depends on what you put in your mind and heart today.

  7. Don’t worry about things you can’t change. Instead, change the things you can and let God deal with the rest.

  6.  Stupid is knowing the facts but choosing not to do anything with what you know. “Life is hard; harder if you’re stupid.” John Wayne

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  If God cares enough about you to save your soul…you can know He’s also concerned about your smallest concern or largest debt.

  4.  The financial bondage you’re living under has an expiration date…you can decide to do something about the date.

  3.  Never allow your dreams to be reduced or eliminated by a lack of money. Instead of saying: “I can’t afford this.”  Try, “How can I afford this?”

  2.  The Bible is not against wealth but it is against you taking advantage of others to get it or misusing what you’ve accumulated.

1.  You may be traveling through enemy territory but God is bringing you into a fresh place where you will LACK FOR NOTHING.

I will always remember the first person who said to me. . .you don’t know the problems I’ve got.

I said, “You’re right and I don’t want to know.” 

It’s not that I wasn’t compassionate about his situation but I knew I had to provoke this man’s thinking because his focus was on his problems and not his solution.

I told him that circumstances are defined as the circle you’re standing in. . .but if you’re moving from glory unto glory. . .you will be leaving your circumstances and those problems behind.

Then I shared Romans 8:26 in The Living Bible which says:

“And in the same way—by our faith—the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words.”

I’m not sure why this event came to my remembrance, but it prompted me to share with you four ways to deal with whatever problems you’re facing.

First, you can run away from your problems, but they won’t go away.

God doesn’t give us wings to fly away from problems.  He doesn’t take us out of this world to keep us from experiencing pressure.  Instead, He gives us the opportunity to look to Him for the strength to walk through the pressure and be spiritually enriched by the experience.

Second, if you avoid or go around problems. . .you are only putting them off to face at a later date.

Procrastination magnifies and, many times, multiplies your problems.

We are about to enter the last four months of 2025.

We believe the Lord wants each of us to establish a vision that will never perish.

In Proverbs 29:18 King Solomon said:

"Where there is no vision, the people perish:  but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”

According to Strong’s Concordance the Hebrew word for vision is chazown (H2377) which means:

“vision, oracle, prophecy (divine communication).”

This literally means a revelatory unction and direction from the Lord.

When you have a vision, it is personal . . . it’s unique to you. . .something that’s God ordained and visualized to be a part of your life.  That’s why a vision is different from a goal.

Your goals will flow out of your vision.  If you don’t have a vision, then it’s not possible to set proper goals because you would have no idea where you’re going.

In Strong’s Concordance, the word perish is the Hebrew word para (H6944) and it means:

“to let go, let loose, ignore, let alone.”
