When I feel distressed, disturbed or challenged I have learned to turn to the Spirit to reassure, lift up, empower and equip me to handle the moment. I created an array of brief prayers. "Help me Jesus in this moment." ... "Fill me with peace, understanding and compassion for this situation Lord". These a spiritual surrenders for help- prayer is like a vitamin for my soul.
This requires having the conscious awareness to quickly switch from problem mode to prayer mode. I choose to transcend from the circumstances surrounding me to a higher plane where the answer can flow uninhibited. By living transcendentally I train my conscious mind to be an overcomer of the situation or challenge presented. This doesn't always mean the situation is instantly repaired or resolved.... it does mean that I come to the resolution from a different place, one that looks to the bigger picture and embraces it fully, without having to know all the answers to how it will work out.
Are you constantly reviewing all the problems in your life? Are you looking at them and not seeing any answers, only more problems? Possibly you are trying to resolve them in your own power instead of allowing God's power to transcend the situation. Nothing is impossible for God, nothing. Pray without ceasing is a mantra in my life. It's a choice freely available to anyone. Will you join me?
