Therefore we run to God not away from Him. The mistake done by many Christians is to abandon God when they are meeting challenges. They stop studying the Word. They start looking unto the world rather than the Word.<\/p>\n<p>Abandoning God is abandoning solutions. If you abandon a solution, there is no hope for you. Therefore make up your mind that regardless of the situation, you will still abide in Him and His Word.<\/p>\n<p>If you continue trusting in God and His Word, you will keep on standing in the midst of challenges. Psalm 20:7-8 \u201cSome trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God.
