Problem or Solution

"For I watch over my word to perform it." -- Jeremiah 1:12

"Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfill his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word." -- Psalm 103:20

"Prayer is not about bringing your problems to God but about bringing solutions to your problems." -- Shawn Baker

We are prone to go into our prayer closets and present a list of our problems to God, and He is faithful to comfort us in our afflictions. But, what we should do more often is go into our prayer closets and present a list of solutions, according to His WORD. God watches over His Word to perform it (Jer. 1:12). He is waiting for us to declare the solution out of our own mouth and He will even dispatch angels to fulfill His Word.

Facts are temporary (e.g. the doctor says it's cancer).
TRUTH will always override facts. The truth is that "by His stripes we are healed."
Take that diagnosis (whatever it may be) and the WORD of God into the prayer closet and declare the solution to your situation.

Thanks to Shawn for this great teaching!
