How do you know where to start making changes when you have a complex problem? The world of psychiatry & clinical counseling says that an in-depth analysis takes weeks and months, and then change may never come, just management of symptoms. God’s Word promises and assures immediate progress if you will repent of associated sins, and start obeying & responding to God by faith. Problems That Need God's Solutions (A Sample List): Adultery, outbursts of anger, anorexia, arrogance, bitterness, bulimia, ineffective or evil communications, depression, lack of discipline in specific areas, drunkenness, fear, financial problems, fornication, frustration, gluttony, greed, guilt, homosexuality, impatience, interpersonal disputes, jealousy, laziness, loneliness, lust, lying, marriage problems and failures, parent and child difficulties, pride, procrastination, rebellion, self-pity, stealing, substance abuse, suffering, unforgiving spirit, and worry.
