Spiritual Solutions
A young boy was diagnosed with an illness for which there was no cure. One evening, he quietly said to his mother, “I have an unsolvable problem.” His mother, demonstrating rock-solid faith, replied, “There is no such thing as an unsolvable problem. Is anything too hard for the Lord?”1[1]
Each of us has felt the worry of an unsolvable problem. But as this young mother testified, with the Lord on our side, there is no such thing.
Now, that doesn’t mean every problem will be resolved as we hope or when we desire. But it does mean that as we turn to the Lord and place our burdens upon Him, we can, in His timing and in His loving way, find peace and answers even to our most vexing challenges.
The Lord has told us that His ways are higher than ours[2] and that as we trust Him, submitting our desires and hopes to His will, He will direct our paths.[3] Choosing to follow the Lord’s path will lead us where we need to go—and through what we need to experience—so that we can grow, learn, and prepare to return home to Him.
Perhaps one key to submitting our will to the Lord’s is to focus our faith first on Him rather than on the outcome. When we overly focus on the outcome we desire, we risk missing the evidence of the Lord’s active power in our lives. But when our focus is centered on Him rather than our own desires, we open ourselves to receive His very best blessings—even when they come differently than we had hoped.
In this way—His way—there truly is no such thing as an unsolvable problem. Every problem ultimately finds its answer in Jesus Christ. Fear? He is the Prince of Peace.[4] Emptiness? He is the Bread of Life and the Living Water.[5] Lost? He is the Way and the Good Shepherd.[6] Injustice, mistakes, even death? He is the Righteous Judge, the Redeemer, the Resurrection and the Life.[7]
Indeed, when we turn to the Lord, we find that every problem ultimately has a perfect solution, and it is found in Him.
