Problem Analysis and Resolution

We all have problems. It's important to address these challenges intelligently. Here's some suggestions.

First: A checklist to provide insight:

• What is the problem?
• What is the cause of the problem?
• What are all possible solutions?
• What is the best solution?

Second: Weigh the pros and cons in regard to a particular option:

• What are the pros?
• What are the cons?
• Assign weights to each.

Third: What would be in the best interest of others?

Fourth: What does the Bible say about the issue?

Fifth: What will happen if I just ignore the issue?

Sixth: Don't forget the basics:

• Pray and listen.
• Seek out wise counsel.
• Wait on the Lord until it becomes clear what to do.
