About this episode

Sharon Sarles discusses the importance of admitting and recognizing problems as a crucial step towards overcoming them with God's help.

Well, today I talk about the Necessity of admitting, acknowledging, recognizing problems on the way to overcoming them. Indeed, the only way to solve problems is to know they exist. One must look squarely at the problem, if only for a short time. We do not idolize our problems. We do not deny our problems. We do not wallow in our problems. But we do acknowledge our problems -- on the way to solution. Unfortunately, rarely done. Societal problems often exist precisely because this is not done. Many situation exist because someone whats them to exists. Other situations exist because people think nothing can be done. However, nothing is impossible with God. Of course, nothing is impossible to God, we know that. God has turned some thing over to us. Problems may be too big for us, so we work with God and God with us. We acknowledge the problems. Then we ask for God's help. Then we get it! Today, let's just admit we do have some problems. Then, let's see if we can hold on to that idea for just a couple of weeks. Then, yes, I will tell you a story of victory.
