There is one passage in the Word of God that provides the solution to all human problems, regardless of what they are. If you are looking for a formula, or multi-step program, or some revelation from the wisdom of man here, or just another excuse to fail, this ONE step solution to all your stuggles wont appeal to you much.
On the other hand, if you do exactly what this passage says, you WILL be an overcomer. You may say, well that answer is too simple! Well the answer has always been simple. It is man, with all his how and when and where and will, that have complicated the simplicity of Gods plan.
Psa 107:1 O give thanks unto Jehovah; For he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Psa 107:2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
Psa 107:3 And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
Psa 107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.
Psa 107:5 Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
Psa 107:6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,
Psa 107:7 He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
Psa 107:8 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psa 107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
Psa 107:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,
Psa 107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:
Psa 107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
Psa 107:13 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder.
Psa 107:15 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psa 107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Psa 107:17 Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Psa 107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
Psa 107:19 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:20 He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions.
Psa 107:21 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psa 107:22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
Psa 107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;
Psa 107:24 These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.
Psa 107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
Psa 107:26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.
Psa 107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end.
Psa 107:28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.
Psa 107:30 Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
Psa 107:31 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psa 107:32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.
Psa 107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
Psa 107:34 A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
Psa 107:35 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.
Psa 107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,
Psa 107:37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.
Psa 107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
Psa 107:39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
Psa 107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
Psa 107:41 Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock.
Psa 107:42 The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
Psa 107:43 Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
