We'd all like to think everything in our lives will go as planned, but we know thats simply not how life works. Maybe something has you feeling down. Maybe your relationship is under strain or experiencing problems. Friends, I have good news for you !

The first thing we need to understand during  times of uncertanty is God will never give us more than we can handle. When problems arise learn to see them not as an obstacle to your happiness but as an opportunity to make adjustments in your life.

Be thankful that God has allowed this problem to enter your life, that this problem has allowed areas which need improvement to come to the surface so they can be addressed. Learn to recognize when God is talking to you, when he is sending you that wake up call.

We all have areas in our lives that we need to improve upon. Maybe we've done wrong to someone, or maybe somone has done wrong to us. Take that negative and turn it into something positive. use that relationship problem to strengthen your relationship. Use that strain in your relationship as a time to ask forgiveness or give forgiveness, Remember your committment as a couple toGod, remember why you married (or plan to marry) that person. Use that problem to see areas which need improvement and take action to make those improvements. Too often we simply give up when times get tough, and we miss out on that part of God's plan for our lives. The promises in our lives cannot be fulfilled because we're fighting what god is trying to hand us.

God knows your troubles even before they begin. Sometimes problems arise simply to take you from one place and put you in the next place God has planned for you. Problems can be God's way of advancing you to the next step in your life! God will never close one door without opening another! Every problem is an opportunity if you know where to look.
