P-R-O-B-L-E-M-S

The letter P stands for the fact that it is a predictor. It has the ability to predict what we will become by the way that we respond to it.

The letter R is if for the fact that it’s a reminder that every one of us needs God and that we will always have problems and that we might as well understand that problems are part of life.

The letter O stands for the fact that they are opportunities.

The letter B stands for the fact that they are blessings. Almost every spiritual blessing you have in your life began with a trial, a tribulation, or a problem.

The letter L stands for the fact that they are lessons. They teach us something.

The letter E stands for the fact that they are everywhere.

The letter M stands for the fact that they are messages. Every problem sends a message to us.

The letter S stands for the fact that they are all solvable.
