I know that's the way it was with me for a long time. But, then I came to the following realization regarding life's problems:
"What are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them. We must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly." A.W.Tozer.
This so true. When I gave my problems, physical issues, etc. over to God instead of complaining and asking Him to resolve them NOW, I learned these valuable lessons.
1. God works according to His timetable, not mine.
2.Staying close to Him through prayer and the reading of my Bible did strengthen me spiritually.
3.I had the realization that my "murmuring" and impatience to get out from under my problems showed a distrust and lack of faith in God.
Problems, trials and turmoil have the potential to draw you closer to God if you approach them in Godly humility and submission.
