Are Your Problems as Big as You Think?
We all face struggles that feel overwhelming—whether it’s health challenges, financial stress, or emotional burdens. But what if our problems aren’t as big as they seem? What if shifting our perspective could change how we face life’s difficulties?
In this video, I share how God’s truth can transform the way we see our struggles, helping us focus on what truly matters: eternity.

4 Key Takeaways from the Video
1. Struggles feel big now, but they are temporary.
📖 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 – “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.”
➡ Eternity changes everything. When we focus on what is unseen—God’s promises—our struggles shrink in comparison.
2. Your circumstances don’t define you—God does.
📖 Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
➡ Even when we feel weak, God provides the strength we need to persevere.
3. We must set our minds on things above.
📖 Colossians 3:2 – “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
➡ When we focus on eternity, our daily struggles lose their grip on us.
4. Our suffering now is nothing compared to what’s coming.
📖 Romans 8:18 – “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”
➡ If we keep our eyes on heaven, we can endure even the hardest trials with hope and confidence.

How to Shift Your Perspective on Struggles
✔ Recognize that this life is temporary. Our pain won’t last forever, but God’s promises will.
✔ Take every thought captive. Don’t let negative thinking consume you—let God’s truth renew your mind (2 Corinthians 10:5).
✔ Trust in God’s strength, not your own. If we rely on Him, He will sustain us through every trial.
✔ Pray and focus on eternity. Ask God to reshape your perspective and remind you that suffering is momentary.
