Answer
The answer to all our earthly problems lies with God.  We live in a sinful world, where there is pain, poverty, death, destruction.  These all come from the devil, who wants to destroy not only our bodies physically, but get us so filled with despair that we turn away from God.  And that is exactly what we should not do.  God is the only One who can see the whole picture, and He wants the best for us.  If we totally surrender our lives to Him, He will take care of us, not only physically and financially, but He will lead us into a relationship with Him which will lead to eternal life with Him.  Study the next passages carefully and claim the promises of God.  But remember, it takes full surrender to Him to have a true saving relationship with Him.
 
Proverbs 3     Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil.

Matthew 11     28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 6     25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
 
Philippians 4    6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 
Psalm 37: 25    I have been young, and now am old;  yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,  nor his descendants begging bread.
Sometimes we are in trouble we did not cause, and we could feel as if God is punishing us.  But at other times we are totally responsible for our own misfortune.  But whatever the problem, take it to God every day.  If we have been the cause of our problems, we have to turn away from these things, and change our ways.  He wants to save you, and have you as his child forever.  It sounds crazy to think that the great God of the universe wants only to love us and be loved by us, but it is the truth.
 
John 14     1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
John 17: 3   And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
 
John 3: 16   For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
 
Jeremiah 29     11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart
Romans 8: 32  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
 
So turn your life over to God completely, and watch as He takes over and changes your bad situation to a wonderful walk with Him!  This advice might seem to be nonsense to the unbeliever, but take God at His word, and see the results!

God loves you very much.
