Understanding the problem from God's point of view:
Jn. 14:1-3
, 3:15
, 5:24
, 11:25
, Rom. 10:9-10
-Whenever troubled,
disturbed, agitated, perplexed, worried, tossed about, confused,
disheartened, continue to believe while in the midst of troubles,
this will carry you through. Belief in God and His Son will deliver
your troubled heart. Thus, through belief through hope for God's
house and its mansions, through Jesus' work, through Jesus' return
and through an eternal habitation with Jesus, these things will
deliver you from a troubled heart.
Hope:
1 Pet. 1:3-4
, Titus 2:12-13
-Earth is only a temporary place,
we have a permanent one in a real world in another dimension of
being. Jesus knew His Father's house, the truth and the reality
of it, and the one thing essential to inherit these mansions is
belief in Christ.
Eph. 1:7 , 1 Pet. 1:18-19 , 2 Cor. 13:4, Rom. 5:2 -It is through Jesus' work that our deliverance comes about. Jesus went to the cross to prepare redemption for us by His death, His resurrection and exaltation. Being raised from the dead, he prepared the conquest of death and a new life and power for us. He ascended into heaven to prepare our access into the presence of God and an eternal home for us.
Jn. 5:25 , 17:24 , 1 Thess. 4:16-17 , 2 Cor. 5:8, Titus 2:12-13 , 2 Tim. 4:18 , Phil. 3:20-21 - Believers are to be glorified with the Father and Jesus. In an instant, we will pass from this world into the next world, into heaven itself. In comparison, our present afflictions are but slight. Meditate on this and grasp the truth of this statement which will carry your troubled soul through any trial even martyrdom. The Lord will deliver you from any evil work, physical or spiritual.

8:15-17, Gal. 4:4-7
-As with the disciples, our eyes are to be
taken off earthly things, of worldly position and power, of wealth
and possessions, of pomp and ceremony, and to think on Jesus'
words that all roads lead to God Himself if we dwell on the words
of Jesus, and we look through the things of the world and see
the way to God is Jesus Himself and the destination of life is
God Himself. Accordingly, do not think like the natural man and
be caught up into the earthly atmosphere. Our perpetual residence
is one of a heavenly atmosphere, having an eternal quality, beyond
the senses, realizing that we will be in the Presence of God the
Father forever.

17:21-22, Acts 1:8
-As with the disciples, the same today, Jesus
wants us to walk by faith, and we will see the Father in Jesus
in the Gospels. Jesus revealed Himself as the full embodiment
of God, the very nature, character, substance and perfection
of God. As we believe the word as Jesus did, then, we too will
walk by the light of the word manifesting the Presence of God
in our being and deeds in the midst of troubles, pressures, and
persecutions as with Jesus. We are to believe Jesus as a Person,
as the Son of God Himself, believe His claim, that His testimony
and witness to Himself is absolutely true. As we believe and live
in Him, we can go through any trial and come out victoriously.
