Why does God let us struggle?
Just as God allowed Paul to suffer to keep him from becoming conceited, God allows us to suffer so that we too will realize we are actually more powerful for Christ when we accept our weaknesses so we can accept God’s sufficient grace in our lives. 2. God Allows Us to Struggle Because “it is sin living in me.”
Can God solve all problems?
The Bible says, “The way of the Lord is a refuge for the righteous” (Proverbs 10:29). But God also will give you wisdom to deal with your problems. When we come to Christ, God Himself comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit — and one of His purposes is to help us when we face difficult times.
Why does God want us to live?
God expects us to accept His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as our Savior. He expects us to give our lives to Him, and in so doing, develop the character of Christ. God wants us to become more like Christ. God expects you to trust Him, Love Him and pattern yourself after His Son, Jesus Christ.
