Introduction: Some things we can’t fix. We would love to be able to fix everything all the time. But it doesn’t work that way. What do you do when you can’t fix a problem?

Here are some suggestions:

1. Pray – commit it to the Lord! (1Pet 5:7) – “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Are you in a situation right now that you can’t fix? What can you do?

Follow these guidelines:

2. Do what you can but not any more! (Job 23:10) – “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”

Job could pray, and he did. In fact, he prayed for his friends. His captivity was turned at that point. 

3. Recognize our limitations and trust! (Job 13:15) – “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.”

Our life is in the Lord’s hands! Sometimes when we can’t do anything else, we can trust Jesus!

Will you trust Him now?

Conclusion: Are you praying? Are you obeying? Are you trusting? When you can’t fix a problem then we must follow these principles.
