When the troubles of life come don't put your focus on the problem put it on the word.  The scripture says "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2Corinthians 4:18).  Your problems are temporal(subject to change), but the word of God is eternal(everlasting).  when you put your focus on the problem you loose sight of the power of God.  Like Peter when Jesus told him to come to him out on the water, he got out of the boat and walked on the water until he saw the waves boisterous.  Notice when he changed focus from Jesus to the waves he began to sink.

How about Elijah when he called fire down from heaven King Ahab told Queen Jezebel what had happened and she sent a messenger with a message that she was going to kill Elijah and he ran and hid and begged God to take his life just at Queen Jezebel's word.  The man just called fire down from heaven and yet he got focused on Queen Jezebel's message and lost all sight of God's power (1Kings 19:1-4).  The scripture says "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen."  God has done some things that may not appear to be done, but that's the time to walk by faith and not by sight (1Corinthians 5:7).

Like Elisha and his servant when the King of Syria sent his army to capture Elisha, they surrounded the city by night.  When Elisha's servant arose that morning and saw the great multitude of soldiers he paniced, but when Elisha came out he said "Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."  Then Elisha prayed that his servant's eyes be opened and he saw the angels of God.  Two men in the same situation one focused on the problem and the other focused of God's word.

How about Abraham both him and his wife were old and Sarah was barren, but God said that they would have a son what did Abraham do.  He considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb (Romans 4:19). He was fully persuaded that, what God promised, he was able to perform (Romans 4:21).  Notice what Abraham did, he didn't focus on the problem he focused on what God had promised.  And that's exactly what you should do in the times of trouble.
