Don’t say dear God I have a big problem. But say dear problem I have a big God”
We all face problems in our lives. Some are small and easy to solve, while others are big and complex. Sometimes, we feel overwhelmed by the challenges we encounter and we lose hope and faith. We may think that our problems are too big for us to handle and that God is too far away to help us. We may say things like “Dear God, I have a big problem” or “Why me, God?” or “God, where are you?”
But what if we change our perspective and attitude? What if we look at our problems as opportunities to grow and learn? What if we trust that God is bigger than any problem we face and that He is always with us and for us? What if we say things like “Dear problem, I have a big God” or “Thank you, God, for this challenge” or “God, I know you are with me”?
This simple shift in our words can make a huge difference in our lives. It can help us to overcome our fears and doubts and to face our problems with courage and confidence. It can also help us to experience God’s presence and power and to witness His miracles and blessings. It can transform our problems into possibilities and our trials into testimonies.
There are many inspiring examples of people who have adopted this positive and faith-filled approach to their problems
Walt Disney was a poor and struggling artist who faced many rejections and failures. He even lost the rights to his first successful cartoon character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. But he did not give up on his dreams. He created Mickey Mouse and went on to build a media empire that has brought joy and magic to millions of people.
Hellen Keller was a deaf and blind girl who faced many obstacles and limitations in her life. She could have lived in isolation and despair, but she chose to overcome her challenges and to pursue her education and passions. These are just some of the many examples of people who have faced big problems with a big God. They have shown us that nothing is impossible with God and that He can use our problems for our good and His glory.
