Overcome Problems

I PLACE ALL CONDITIONS IN THE CARE OF MY DIVINE PROTECTOR. I EXPERIENCE ONLY HARMONY, PEACE, AND JOY.

What exactly is a problem? It could rightly be defined as an unwelcome situation we would like to change—a condition to face honestly and squarely before deciding on a course of action. There is always a right decision to be made in order to eliminate what appears to be a challenge. As children of God, we hold the power of overcoming any negative condition.

If problems keep coming to us regularly, especially problems of the same nature, we need to do some spiritual housecleaning to rid ourselves of the attitudes and feelings that are drawing these situations to us. Perhaps a negative belief concerning money keeps us ever behind in meeting our financial obligations, or feelings of inadequacy keep us from success in work or relationships. As we center ourselves in God only, there will be no place for problems—only harmony, peace, and joy.

Don’t look at a problem as something that cannot be changed. Either the condition will change or our attitude concerning it will be altered as we place the whole situation in the care of our Divine Protector.

Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me. (Psalm 50:15)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
