The mistake we make when faced with a problem , is focusing on problem, which causes us stress and distess rather than keeping our focus on God , who has the solution to our problems which leads to rest and peace in Christ. As his word said. he keep in perfect peace, all who trust in him and who keeps their thoughts fixed on him
in the current world we are living in , it is very easy to see the chaos , the decline in moral standards, general descend of world goverments into wrongdoings, unrighteousness. The world sliding towards destruction and getting discouraged by all the things going on around us.
As Christians , we are called to a living hope in Christ , that is imperishable. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace 2 Thessalonians 2:16 For the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love Psalm 147.11
For our light and momentary afflictions is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
How do we keep our focus on God. We keep our focus on God by praying to God. Seeking his guidance and direction in the decisions we make.
We keep our focus on God by worshipping him and praising him, By being thankful in every circumstances whether good or bad. We keep or focus on God by meditating on his word to gain understanding and discernment.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit Romans 15:13
